E-Recruiment: Full Text Search Not Working

Hi Guys,
We have a problem with the integration of SAP E Recruitment and TREX Search Engine. Maybe someone can share their idees if same problems occured.
We have of course done investigations on SAP marketplace and the sdn community. In Fact the TREX is configured and works fine for searches with drop down selections, etc> When using full text search however no responses are shown. When performing searches on the indexes in TREX itself we have results on free texts.(as example Web Dynpro application Full Text Search )
Does anyone has a clue where to look? Of course customizing have been reviewed several times. Thanks in advance for any feedback.
Regards
Reginald

I am having the same problem but now in my case the RFC_PERIODICAL_SERVICES job keep running eventually we have to kill it..
It usually runs for less than a min but now it is running for hours..
I have reindex a few time and turn that job off when i was reindexing but still no resolution. Search works in trex admin tool but still not able to search threw website.
I openned up a high priority ticket with sap. Any suggestions would be great..

TREX/Content Server: Full text searches not working

I've setup TREX and Content Server in a sandbox environment and have been trying to get my head around DMS. I've completed what I've believed are the required steps (outlined below) and I have submitted 12 documents of various types into the respository. I'm able to perform meta data searches but not full text searched. Any ideas what I might have missed?
Much thanks!!!!
/Greg
0. Defined connection to TREX Server: TREX_42 (SM59); Using TREXADMIN all services are green.
1. "Define Document Area" - DMS is present; assumed I would use this one.
2. "Defined Indexing Readiness" - selected "Index Release" & "Classify" for DMS; set "Search Srv" to DMS_TEST
3. "Define Content Respository" - Created Z_CR_001 and maintained it as follows:
- Documentation Area: Document Management System
- Storage Type: HTTP content server
- HTTP Server: srv-sptxd2-dal.intervoice.int (content server)
- Port: 1090
- HTTP Script: ContentServer/ContentServer.dll
- Physical Path: /usr/sap/IRD/SYS/global/
4. "Define Content Categories" - Created ZCSSTRUCT; maintained as follows:
- Document Area: DMS
- Content Rep: Z_CR_001
5. Checked CSADMIN for Z_CR_001 - All Green
6. Went into SKPR07 (monitoring tab); entered DMS_PCD1 and "Indexing possible", "Auto indexing" and "DocArea activated" is all green.
7. Went into SMRO
- created SSR: "Search Server ID" = DMS_TEST, "Search engine" = DRFUZZY
- Verified "RFC Destinations"; passed tests; all green.
8. Went into SKPR07; using DMS_PCD1 as document class.
- executed "Clean up table entries"
- deselected "Limited to selected language"
- executed reindex. "Copied successfully from search engine"
- Selected the created index category
- Set the "Document area" indicator
- execute "Trigger process"; 12 documents referenced
9. Going into TREXADMIN I can see the created index; however the document count = 0. Also there is no queue created -- should there be?

Full-text search not available after upgrade from SQL 2008 R2 Std to SQL 2012 Std

We upgraded our production SQL Server from 2008 R2 Std to 2012 Std last week, and the installation logs show everything was successful, but now we are unable to do any searches against our full-text indexes. The resulting error is as follows:
"Full-Text Search is not installed, or a full-text component cannot be loaded."
When executing the query "SELECT FULLTEXTSERVICEPROPERTY('ISFULLTEXTINSTALLED')", the result is "0". The "Full-Text Daemon Launcher service is also running. When running installation again to add the feature, it shows
"Full-Text and Semantic Extractions for Search" as being installed and unavailable for selection in the list of features to add. As a side note, we did the same upgrade in our identical QA environment before production and everything was successful
and full-text searches are working correctly. We have run the "Repair" routine in the SQL Installation Center and it did not correct the problem.
The full-text catalogs still appear when browsing through the GUI in SSMS or querying sys.fulltext_indexes and sys.fulltext_index_columns. It is not possible to view the properties of the catalog in SSMS, though, as the GUI throws an error and an empty
dialog box is shown. Any other thoughts?
Thanks,
AJ

I have no idea what is going, but assuming that it is a little pressing to get this fix, I think the best path in this case is to open a case with Microsoft.

Adobe Acrobat 8 text search not working

Hi,
I am trying to search for text in a pdf produced by oracle (not that it should matter) and nothing is being found. Any ideas. I can highlight a work and it's loaded automatically when I enter Control F but the reader cant find it.
I wish I'd never downloaded Acrobat reader 8

It's version 8.1.1 on Suse Linux 9.3.
One document which has the problem is available from oracles website at
http://www.oracle.com/pls/wocprod/url/ITEM/0A94991092E93070E040149032B17CE1
The Index for documents can be found at
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/asm/index.html
It's called
"Take the Guesswork Out of Database IO Tuning White Paper"
Best of luck.
I will be downgrading to Acrobat 7 to see if it fixes the problem, (with the added benefit of getting rid of this clumsy new interface and speeding everthing back up).

Oracle text search not working for WSDL files

I have a table (resources) with blob data type column (xml_data) and I've created context type index on that column. I've XSD and WSDL files stored in that blob column.
I can search XSD and XML files with a query with contains operator. But any search on the words from wsdl file returns zero results.I am not able to perform search on wsdl file.
Please advise me whether oracle text can work for WSDL files also ?
Query details
===========
create index myIndex on resources (xml_data) indextype is ctxsys.context;
select * from resources where contains(xml_data, 'searchword') > 0
Thanks a lot,
Santhi

Even though it isn't listed specifically, I can't see why it wouldn't work. The WSDL file should be a simple XML file, so in theory it shouldn't be any different to Oracle Text than the XML file that you loaded and searched successfully. Did you get any errors during indexing, and what do your tokens look like in the DR$MYINDEX$I.TOKEN_TEXT column?
Do you have a mini test case that didn't work for you? Perhaps we could play with it a bit.
Long term you might want to consider using section groups so that you can search "within" tags.

NetBoot: full text search not available in Mail.app

Hi,
we got a NetBoot 10.5.2 image with a Mail.app IMAP account already set up.
When you do a search in Mail.app, the "Entire message" button is greyed out and not available.
This probably has to do with Spotlight not playing well in this circumstance...
There is a way to solve this?
Thank you

I don't know if this will apply, but it's worth checking.
http://www.dextechs.com/osx105spotlight.html
It mostly revolves around fonts that can't be indexed by Spotlight, and that may be the case on your NetBook image.
Hope this helps.

Problem with full-text search in RH8

Hi All,
I've just upgraded from RH6 to RH8 (laptop running Windows XP SP3; RH6 still present on the computer but the RH8 setup program did not seem to have a problem with that: identified an earlier version was present, asked for its serial number, and then proceeded).
RH8 is working just fine, except for one thing: in the WebHelp output I generate, the Search tab displays: "Error: Failed to initialize database".
As a matter of fact, the generation details in RH8 output view state:
Processing Full-text-search data...
Finished processing Full-Text-Search data in 0 sec(s)
This is the case for legacy projects that RH8 upgraded from RH6, but also when I create a project from scratch in RH8.
Now, to add to my confusion, before buying RH8, I had downloaded RH8 trial version and installed it on a spare computer (so it would not interfere with my RH6 installation and projects). The tests with this version were OK (hence the decision to buy the upgrade), and guess what: there was no problem whatsoever with full-text search, neither on legacy projects nor on new projects.
So before I go into the pains of uninstalling / reinstalling (hello registry, it's me again, trying to clean things up ;-), I'd like to know if anyone has any idea why this is happening.
Just to be clear: The RH8 version I bought and installed was a new download, distinct from the initial trial download.
The 3 differences between the trial version and the current working version are:
Trial was on a Vista computer (working version is on XP SP3)
Trial did not have RH6 present on the computer
Trial was version 8.0.0.203, whereas the working version is 8.0.2.208 (immediately after it was installed, RH prompted me to install the updates)
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Hi All,
Just for the record, IT people here were eventually able to have RH8 full-text search feature working on my laptop by:
1/ Installing an XP virtual machine from scratch, and then installing RH8 on it (we created a small project and generated the webhelp output, just to make sure the search feature did work in that environment).
2/ Using a software virtualization application to capture that RH8 install and deploy it on my laptop.
The problem is not solved, because we still don't know what caused it (conflicting DLLs?), but it looks like we have a workaround - although certainly not a quick and easy one ;-)

Hello,
Did you check the fulltext log files for more details about the errors. If the filter isn’t working, there should be errors in the error log file.
The following thread is about similar issue, please refer to:

Full-Text Search has not worked since we upgraded to 2012

I have a filestream database and table. Our full-text searches have always worked until we upgraded to SQL 2012 in December. Now, no file that has been uploaded since December is searchable. What has gone wrong here. It should have been
a clean upgrade. We are not getting any error messages. We are just not getting any records returned when we search on a word that we know are in the documents we've uploaded since December (for instance, the word 'aluminum').
Filestream is enabled for the instance.
A full-text catalog exists and contains a full-text index (the same one we've always had). Full-text indexing is ENABLED.
I've tried rebuilding the catalog and the index. I've tried to do a FULL POPULATION on the table.
We haven't changed our queries nor the way the files are uploaded.
Nothing works. I have been a database administrator since the SQL 2005 days and I have never seen anything like this.
Please help.

Hi GINGER PIERCE,
Since the issue regards SQL Server Search. I will help you post the question in the related forums. It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.
According to your description, in theory , if you can do a full-text search for SQL Server 2008, when upgrading the SQL Server version from 2008 to 2012, the Full text indexing feature should be run well in SQL Server 2012 databases. If not , you can try
to restore your database from SQL Server 2008 to SQL Server 2012, create an new Full-Text Catalog and Index on the table or view in the database, and then use Full Text Index to search words, phrases and multiple forms of word or phrase via FREETEXT() and
CANTAINS() with “and” or “or” operators. check if it is normal that the full-text search feature is enabled in the SQL Server 2012 instance. For more information , see:
Full Text Search step by step in SQL Server 2012.
Note: In SQL Server 2012 SP1 ， the server will report that Full Text Search is not supported in this edition of SQL Server when it clearly is. The workaround is to create the initial catalog by using a T-SQL query:
CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG
In addition, since it is a fileStream database, we need to verify if you do Full Text Searches on documents in FileTables, if yes, you should enable FileStream database for your SQL Server, and enable FileTable options for the database. For more information,
see:
Full Text Searches on Documents in FileTables.

Full-Text Search is Enabled But It Is Not Working.

I Have Already Installed SQL SERVER 2008 ANd Full Text Search Is Also Running I Check It Via Query It Is Also Return !. Now What i M DO?????

Hello,
What's the database role of the current user? If it is not a a member of the db_owner, or db_ddladmin,
you must have CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG permission on the database, or have REFERENCES permission on the full-text catalog and ALTER permission on the table or indexed view.
For example:
GRANT REFERENCES ON FULLTEXT CATALOG :: Catalog_name TO User ;
Reference:GRANT Full-Text Permissions

Full text search in Chinese Language not finding results

We are translating one of our Webhelp projects into
simplified chinese, and everything is working fine except full text
search. We can type chinese characters into the search box but no
results appear even though we have already translated a lot of the
webhelp into chinese. Note that we have breadcrumbs, TOC and Index
functioning correctly in chinese.
The FAQ for Robohelp claims that FTS is supported in other
languages but I am stuck - I can't figure out how to make it work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There was some language stuff in those patches that I hoped
would fix your problem, obviously not.
I am not familiar with working with languages. Have you tried
changing the language in Project Settings? Have you tried importing
a couple of topics into a new project?
Beyond that, hopefully someone with more relevant knowledge
can help you.

Is it possible to ignore noise words conditionally in working with Full text search containstable

I have a question on stoplist file. I need to search for exact phrase string("this is the incident") which contains noise words. As part of the FT search engine, during parsing it eliminates noise word and search on remaining string in
the given phrase.
let us say there are 10 rows which contains the term "incident" in the FT table . and 1 row which has the exact phrase.i.e."this is the incident".
if we use containstable() to search for "this is the incident", we are getting 10 rows instead of 1 row.
To resolve the issue, we have 3 solutions
1.either stoplist file needs to be modified to remove the words (this,is,the)
2. set stoplist = OFF.
3.empty stoplist.
Apart from the above solutions, is there any better solution with out touching noise words file list.
If any solution that provides flexibility to ignore noise words conditionally at one time and not to ignore them.
Please provide your suggestion.
kkprasad

One question that I ask is: Why would I want to exclude noise words?
Noise words were created to limit the size of the full text indexes and avoid processing the many 'this', 'is', and 'the' common words. But the disadvantage of doing so is that you cannot find some things as you would like.
My feeling is that computers are more powerful and have more storage and it is often better to just index everything. As long as your search does not include 'the', then the large number of 'the's in the system will pretty much be ignored.
NOTE: If you change the noise words, including SET STOPLIST = OFF, you have to rebuild the index in order for it to implement your decision.
Of course, for very, very large full text indexes you would need to test.
Is your full text search on relation database columns, e.g. Description NVARCHAR(1000) or are you searching Word, Excel, and other more complex data?
If your full text is relational columns, it might be that you could:
1. Select only the fulltextkey into a temp table (e.g. #FTSfulltextkey) from the full text index using noise words. That would give you 10 rows.
2. Then directly query the table to find the string as you define above. (But remember that punctuation and symbols are generally ignored by Full Text Indexing, but would still be there in the string of text.)
SELECT *
FROM MyTextTable T
JOIN #FTSfulltextkey K
ON T.fulltextkey = k.fulltextkey
WHERE T.Description like '%this is the incident%'
Full text search is powerful, but it has limits. And the behaviour changes depending on the Language of the search.

Search not Working in Webhelp or Webhelp Pro

I am currently running Adobe Robohelp version 10. I have several different RH files that I manage (desk procedures) and in each of the ones that I manage, my latest publishings have broken search functions. What I mean by broke: it will search some words just fine, but others that I know are in my desk procedures show "no topics found".   Some of my files are published using webhelp and some webhelp pro, with the same problem.
I have done the following:
1) Gone back to a backed up file dated 05/01/2014 (that the search seems to be working just fine in) and done edits to it, published and it breaks the search.
2) I have gone back to the working 05/01/2014 file and done nothing to it except publish it and it breaks.
3) Checked the button to clear the cache
4) From Webhelp Settings Option I have:
·         Changed output folder that it publishes to (which is on a local drive before I transfer it to the network drive)
·         I have enabled substring search (which actually does allow it to render some results, but not all the results it should)
·         Tried to click “Republish All” setting
5) Created new (not duplicate) webhelp layout
6) Checked that language is set to English (US)
7) Ensured that the words that I know aren’t searching aren’t included in the ignore and stop list.
8) Tried switching from DHTML > Pure HTML to just Pure HTML
9) I noticed that the Output view generates the following message :
                Processing Full-text-search data...
Finished processing Full-Text-Search data in 0 sec(s)
10) Deleted the “webhelp” file from the !SSL! folder and then republished it
11) The biggest finds that I have are the following:
·         That publishing the file is what seems to break the search functionality
·         When the file is published a few of the files in the !SSL! folder are substantially smaller than they were in the working file:
o   WHXDATA
o   WHGDATA
Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Shannon

Search not working on Task Description

Hi,
I am facing a strange scenario with search not working on Task Description for a particular task item. This task item has around 18 versions of itself within it.
I tried replicating the same scenario in our Test environment with following changes in the task item description:
1. Copied the task list over to Test environment.
2. Deleted all the versions of this task and put a single line description as.
3. Initiated full crawl and search results with task description were
coming up fine.
4. Made few more versions : 5 Versions and again initiated full craw. Search results are fine.
5. Made few more versions this time and again a FULL crawl, but now NO results with this task description.
So, my question here is that is there any limit by MS for multiline text limit or version limit which prevents the task description from coming up in search results.
This task description as multiple line text with links to other lists/libraries and user names who created the versions in this task item. We are not using FAST search.

I found the answer elsewhere on the forum:
Somehow the main drive was added to the privacy list in Spotlight. Search is working fine now that I've removed it.

How can I get the text search to work in my Robohelp 7 .chm?

The text search used to work but has stopped working.
The compile says it is "Generating full-text search data..." and I'm getting no errors.
This .chm is part of a merged .chm. The other merged .chms still have seaching ability.
I'm wondering if perhaps I'm running out of space. The .chm is 5,327 KB

I gave up and repaired Robohelp 7. Now the text search works again. One possibility is that I damaged Robohelp 7 when I installed a trial copy of Robohelp 9 and then uninstalled the trial copy. Don't know for sure and I'm not willing to try it again just to find out. I'm just happy that I've got it working again.
