Hello,
I have to implement a method FindProduct, which takes a parameter search query and returns product based on the query.
I think i can use full text search here but don't know how. I tried to read a various way but could not figure out.
123 [DataObjectMethodAttribute(DataObjectMethodType.Select,true)]4public DataLayer.shopDBDataSet.ProductsDataTable GetProducts()5 {6return Adapter.GetProducts();7 }89 [DataObjectMethodAttribute(DataObjectMethodType.Insert,true)]10public bool AddProduct(string UPCCode,string Description,string Size)11 {12 shopDBDataSet.ProductsDataTable products =new shopDBDataSet.ProductsDataTable();13 shopDBDataSet.ProductsRow productRow = products.NewProductsRow();1415 productRow.UPCCode = UPCCode;16 productRow.Description = Description;17 productRow.Size = Size;1819 products.AddProductsRow(productRow);20int rowsAffected = Adapter.Update(products);21return rowsAffected == 1;22 }2324 [DataObjectMethodAttribute(DataObjectMethodType.Delete,true)]25public bool DeleteProduct(string UPCCode)26 {27int rowsAffected = Adapter.Delete(UPCCode);28return rowsAffected == 1;29 }3031 [DataObjectMethodAttribute(DataObjectMethodType.Select,false)]32public DataLayer.shopDBDataSet.ProductsDataTable FindProducts(string searchQuery)33 {3435throw new System.NotImplementedException();3637 }38You can see the method at line number 32. I could not figure out the way to implement it although i know full text search is a good choice.
I have following table adapter
GetProducts(); GetProductsByManufacturerName(); GetProductsByManufacturerID(), and GetProductsByUPCCode();
Product table contains UPCCode, Description, Size columns
But i need to get the product which returns the description containing search query.
I know some of you have done something similar to this.
Could you please guide me...
Thanks in advance

The Full Text index require four predicates CONTAINS,CONTAINSTABLE,FREETEXT and FREETEXTTABLE and the Microsoft search service and the catalog must be populated before you can get search results. You can implement it in your application but there is limited support for SQL Server Express. The links below will take you in the right direction if you decide to implement it. Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot...
i got the full text indexes for my tables.
But do you suggest me to create a productstableadapter that uses FREETEXT SQL query.
or just call it from the function.
Thanks

There are samples provided by Microsoft but I think you should use a stored proc like the samples in my first post and call the stored proc in your ADO.NET code. Hope this helps.

Thank you again...
how do i pass search query entered by user.
SELECT ProductName
FROM Products
WHERE FREETEXT (ProductName, 'spread' )instead of spread i would like to pass user input.
thanks once again

Then the CONTAINS predicate is more suited for your needs because it can be used in seven or more context when searching, run a search for all four predicates I posted in my first reply in SQL Server BOL(books online). Here are all the uses of CONTAINS. Hope this helps.
A. Using CONTAINS with <simple_term>
B. Using CONTAINS and phrase in <simple_term>
C. Using CONTAINS with <prefix_term>
D. Using CONTAINS and OR with <prefix_term>
E. Using CONTAINS with <proximity_term>
F. Using CONTAINS with <generation_term>
G. Using CONTAINS with <weighted_term>
H. Using CONTAINS with variables
|||Hey Caddre (my favorite poster)
I want to piggy back on this. I implemented the code used in the links above but something still isn't right. Here's my code:
<code>
Sub search(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
GridView1.Visible = True
Dim DBCOnnection As SqlConnection
Dim Criterion As String = Request.QueryString("Criterion")
DBCOnnection = New SqlConnection("Data Source=server/db;Initial Catalog=SOS_KnowledgeBase;Integrated Security=True")
DBCOnnection.Open()
Dim strSQL As String
Dim objDataset As New DataSet()
Dim objAdapter As New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter()
strSQL = "exec dbo.sp_search @.Application, @.Category, @.textsearch"
objAdapter.SelectCommand = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand(strSQL, DBCOnnection)
objAdapter.SelectCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@.Application", DDLApp.SelectedItem.Text)
objAdapter.SelectCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@.Category", DDLCat.SelectedItem.Text)
objAdapter.SelectCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@.textsearch", textsearch.Text)
objAdapter.Fill(objDataset)
Dim oView As New DataView(objDataset.Tables(0))
GridView1.DataSource = oView
GridView1.DataBind()
DBCOnnection.Close()
If GridView1.PageCount <= 0 Then
Label1.Text = "No Results Matched Your Query."
Else
If GridView1.PageCount > 0 Then
Label1.Text = ""
End If
End If
Button1.Visible = False
Button2.Visible = True
End Sub

Can you tell me what I am doing wrong here? Thanks.

|||Never mind...so stupid. I was referencing a label instead of the actual textbox!!!!!
Now that this is fixed, does anyone know a link or two that shows me how to strip commas, periods, etc from textbox entries before you pass it to a procedure?
Cordell
|||I think you are calling Contains too late in your query in the WHERE clause of a JOIN which is just a filter and if you are in Express there is limited support for Express. You should check out the other three predicates especially the tables version. Hope this helps.
