How to search for a set of string in a column

Dear all,
From a client application I have a Text field where the user can enter a text or a sentence for instance like :
"Home for rent"
How to make an efficient search in my table for records containing the search patter ?
Knowing that it could be a set of words like "HOME RENT POOL"
Idea is to make a kind of semantic search based on the words and return records that match.
Any advise is welcome
regards

You should definitely look into full-text search. The idea that Kalman floated is doable, but it require a lot more work on your part. Full-text does a lot work for you, for instance handling inflections, so that a search on "goose" will get a
hit on "geese".
If you have never worked with full-text search before, I recommend to get your hands on this book:
http://www.sqlservermvpdeepdives.com/
http://www.amazon.com/SQL-Server-MVP-Deep-Dives/dp/1935182048/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1400851023&sr=8-1&keywords=sql+server+mvp+deep+dives
This book is a collection of chapters written by a number of SQL Server MVPs, and all our royalties goes to War Child International, so you are supporting a good aim if you buy this book.
Chapter 13 by Robert Cain is an excellent introduction to full-text search, although it does not handle Semantic Search added in SQL 2012.
As it happens, my chapter, describes a solution of what Kalman had in mind, although it aimed for the case where you want to permit users to search arbitrary character sequence, and that is not want you want.

How to Search for "(" error in a string?

I am trying to search for "(" in a string, however the compiler thinks that I searching for a regular expression, and fails.
Exception in thread "main" java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException: Unclosed group near index 1
Please help me find a way to search for "(" in a string.
Example:
String test="This is a test.";
if (test.matches("(")){
System.out.println("There is a match")
I also tried:
test.matches("\050")
and test.matches("\(")
Thank you!

I also tried:
test.matches("\050")
and test.matches("\(")For this particular problem, I think indexOf is a more appropriate solution. However, for future reference, I think what you want to do for parentheses is escape the backslash, not the bracket.
i.e.
test.matches("\\(");

How to search for a text string in Reports designer?

In iDS reports (10gR2), I want to search from top down for a text string was used in one of the queries or triggers. In Forms, you can do it, in reports the related menu item is always seems to be grayed out no matter what item I pick in the Navigator. Is it doable or not? If yes, then how. I don't wanna open each program piece including the queries in the data model, report triggers or program units and look for (by visual scanning) for the text I am searching for. This is crazy. There must be a way to do it. Thanx.

That is pretty bad for such an expensive report development program. The forms allows it, I wonder why Oracle did not include similar functionality in the reports developer. I knew the conversion to ascii, but during development it is pain in the ... just to search for a simple text string in the related program units in the report, to convert to ascii, do the search and then go back to the developer. Anyway, if that is the only way, there is nothing we can do I guess :(

How to search for upper/lower case using string using JAVA!!!?

-I am trying to write a program that will examine each letter in the string and count how many time the upper-case letter 'E' appears, and how many times the lower-case letter 'e' appears.
-I also have to use a JOptionPane.showMessageDialog() to tell the user how many upper and lower case e's were in the string.
-This will be repeated until the user types the word "Stop".
please help if you can
what i have so far:
[code]
public class Project0 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String[] uppercase = {'E'};
String[] lowercase = {'e'};
String isOrIsNot, inputWord;
while (true) {
   // This line asks the user for input by popping out a single window
   // with text input
   inputWord = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Please enter a sentence");
   if ( inputWord.equals("stop") )
    System.exit(0);
   // if the inputWord is contained within uppercase or
   // lowercase return true
   if (wordIsThere(inputWord, lowercase))
    isOrIsNot = "Number of lower case e's: ";
   if (wordIsThere(inputword, uppercase))
     isOrIsNot = "number of upper case e's: ";
   // Output to a JOptionPane window whether the word is on the list or not
   JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "The word " + inputWord + " " + isOrIsNot + " on the list.");
} //main

How to search for a BADI in a transaction

Hi All,
Please let me know the steps to find a BADI for a transaction.
Thanks,
Jaffer Ali.S

check this.
u can find BADI's in different ways...
1>First go to any transaction->iN THE menu bar SYSTEM->STATUS->Get the program name ->double click->u will go to the program attached to the tcode.Now search term will be CALL CL_EXITHANDLER.Now u will get list of BADI'S available..
2>Goto SE24->Give class name as CL_EXITHANDLER->Display->double click on get_instance mathod->Now u will go inside the method->Now put break point on the cl_exithandler.Now go to any transaction code and pass dat..U will see that it will be stopped on the break point which u set on the cl_exithandler...In the exit name u can find list of badi's attached to the tcode..
There are multiple ways of searching for BADI.
Finding BADI Using CL_EXITHANDLER=>GET_INSTANCE
Finding BADI Using SQL Trace (TCODE-ST05).
Finding BADI Using Repository Information System (TCODE- SE84).
1. Go to the Transaction, for which we want to find the BADI, take the example of Transaction VD02. Click on System->Status. Double click on the program name. Once inside the program search for CL_EXITHANDLER=>GET_INSTANCE.
Make sure the radio button In main program is checked. A list of all the programs with call to the BADIs will be listed.
The export parameter EXIT_NAME for the method GET_INSTANCE of class CL_EXITHANDLER will have the user exit assigned to it. The changing parameter INSTANCE will have the interface assigned to it. Double click on the method to enter the source code.Definition of Instance would give you the Interface name.
2. Start transaction ST05 (Performance Analysis).
/people/alwin.vandeput2/blog/2006/04/13/how-to-search-for-badis-trace-it
3. Go to Maintain Transaction (TCODE- SE93).
Enter the Transaction VD02 for which you want to find BADI.
Click on the Display push buttons.
Get the Package Name. (Package VS in this case)
Go to TCode: SE84->Enhancements->Business Add-inns->Definition
Enter the Package Name and Execute.
Here you get a list of all the Enhancement BADIs for the given package MB.
The simplese way for finding BADI is
1. chooes Tcode Program & package for that Tcode.
2. Go to Tcode se18
3. Press F4
4. search by package or by program.

How to search for a document

Hi
I am uploading document in KM. But when i am updating i assigning custom property country to some specified courties.
How can I filter those documents depending on the country?
For Example, When i am uploading the document, i have country property as Germany(The documents belongs to Germany).
How can I Search for the set of documents which contains property as Germany?
Thanks
Prasad

Hi,
In Advanced Search you can filter by:
Filter by Predefined Properties or
Filter by Custom Properties
If you like, I don't know your requirement, you can create an index, Service Type: search and classification. And classify your documents by countries using taxonomies.

Searching for numbers in a string

I am trying to filter passwords stored in a string variable and ensure that they contain at least a number and one capital letter.
how do you search for numbers in a string and search if that string contains a character in uppercase?

function checkString(username){
var userfield = username;
var valid = '0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMN�OPQRSTUVWXYZ'; // define valid characters
if(!isValid(userfield.value,valid)){
alert("Invalid user name format");
userfield.value="";
userfield.select();
userfield.focus();
}else{
err = 0;
userfield = userfield.value;
function isValid(string,allowed) {
for (var i=0; i< string.length; i++) {
if (allowed.indexOf(string.charAt(i)) == -1)
return false;
return true;
}

Tell me Logic for search for duplicate words(or strings) in a large file.

Search for duplicate words (or strings) in a text file containing one word per line. For each word that occurs more than once in the flat file output should be as follows
<word> <number of occurrences> <line numbers in the file where the word occurs>
For example, if the word Hello occurs thrice in a file at lines 100, 178 and 3456 the output should read
Hello, 3, [100, 178, 3456]

Incidentally i wrote similar code some days back. You need to do some modifications to get the exact output you want, but i hope it will be of some help.
One more thing its written using JAVA5
public class Test
     private static final String COLLECTIONS_TEXT = "C:\\Documents and Settings\\amrainder\\Desktop\\Collections.txt";
     public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
          findDuplicateWords();
     private static void findDuplicateWords() throws IOException
          Collection<String> words = new LinkedHashSet<String>();
          File file = new File(COLLECTIONS_TEXT);
          StreamTokenizer streamTokenizer = new StreamTokenizer(new FileReader(file));
          int token = streamTokenizer.nextToken();
          while(token != StreamTokenizer.TT_EOF)
               if(token == StreamTokenizer.TT_WORD)
                    words.add(streamTokenizer.sval);
               token = streamTokenizer.nextToken();
          System.out.println(words);
