Information on full text search in Oralce Database
Hi,
We are looking to implement full text search using Oracle database. Where can I find info on this topic? Specifically, I'm looking for
1) an overview of how to implement them in Oracle database - column type, size/limitations etc.
2) does oracle database come with filters to extract and filter data from different file formats such as Ms office, PDF (images) etc.
Appreciate your reply
Look into the Oracle Text documentation. It has the answers to your questions.

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.

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.
kkprasadOne 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.

If you see error descriptioon it gives access denied so basically it is because of some access issue.I guess You must be using some domin account for installation make sure it is added as local administrator also instead of using NT Authority network
service as SQL server service account use local system account .
Below link would help

You can also browse to setup.exe file and RK on it and select run as administrator

Problems using and configuring Oracle 10gR2 database full-text search
I am having problems trying to set up full-text indexing and search with Universal Content Management (UCM). I followed the Oracle Content Server Installation Guide for windows at [http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10316_01/cs/cs_doc_10/documentation/integrator/install_cserver_win_10en.pdf].
What I did was:
1. Modify E:\oracle\ucm\server\config\config.cfg by adding SearchIndexerEngineName=DATABASE.FULLTEXT to the end of the file.
2. Restart the content server.
3. Rebuild the search indexing using Repository Manager.
However, I keep seeing the following error when I query by entering words in the "Full-Text Search" box.
Unable to retrieve search results. Unable to retrieve search results. Unable to create result set for query 'SELECT IdcColl1.dID, dDocName, dDocTitle, dDocType, dRevisionID, dSecurityGroup, dDocAuthor, dDocAccount, dRevLabel, dFormat, dOriginalName, dExtension, dWebExtension, dInDate, dOutDate, dCreateDate, dPublishType, dRendition1, dRendition2, VaultFileSize, WebFileSize, URL, dFullTextFormat, dFullTextCharset, DocMeta.*
FROM IdcColl1, DocMeta
WHERE IdcColl1.dID=DocMeta.dID AND (((CONTAINS(dDocFullText,'test') > 0 ))) ORDER BY dInDate Desc'. ORA-20000: Oracle Text error:
DRG-10599: column is not indexed
Some web searches suggested the following (all of which I have tried but not resolved this problem).
1. Publish the schema using Configuration Manager (applet) and then rebuild index
2. Set the dDocFullText as a "zone field". This is not possible, because dDocFullText does not show up under the list of fields under "Database" or "DatabaseFullText" for the Search Engine drop down (when using Zone Fields Configuration).
3. Reboot the server (did not work either).
I logged onto the Oracle database and checked the IdcColl1 table. There is indeed, no index for the field, dDocFullText. There is only 1 index for the field, did. The field, dDocFullText, is a BLOB. The question is, if I am supposed to create an index manually for this field, how would I do it? A web search has not been fruitful in answering this question.
Here are my server settings.
For UCM:
Operating System: Windows 2003 Enterprise
UCM : 10gR3
Memory: 1 GB
Web Server: Apache 2.2.11
For Oracle:
Operating System: Windows 2003 Enterprise
Oracle: 10gR2
Memory: 1 GB
Thanks.I found out what the problem was. The problem was that I had to create the role, stellent_role, as described in the installation manual. After I created this role and assigned the database user to this role, a restart of the Content Server services and collection rebuild of the index fixed the problem.
However, I did notice one thing. I checked in 3 PDF files, and when I used Repository Manager to do a collection rebuild, I noticed that for Indexer Counters, the count for Full Text was 0 and the count for Meta Only was 3.
Anyone have any ideas? Is there something else that I missed? From reading the installation manual, it was not clear how database full-text indexing/searching would handle PDF files. -
Installing Full-Text Search in SQL Server 2008 Standard
Hello,
We have a SQL Server 2008 Standard server, and I need to install full-text search in order to take advantage of some features with Autodesk Vault. I believe that I understand the procedure to do so, but, does the installation of the setup tools
and full-text search component cause any interruption to the database instances (or require a reboot)?
ThanksHi Indiana Grumpycooter,
Full text search feature is supported by the SQL Server 2008 standard version, so you can install this feature in
installation page of the SQL Server Installation Wizard. There is an similar example about adding SQL Full-Text Search to an existing SQL Server, you can review the following steps.http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/data-center/adding-sql-full-text-search-to-an-existing-sql-server/
In addition, you can also install this feature via command line as follows. For more information, see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144259(v=sql.100).aspx
Setup.exe /q /ACTION=Install /FEATURES= Full-Text /INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER /SQLSVCACCOUNT="<DomainName\UserName>" /SQLSVCPASSWORD="<StrongPassword>" /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS
As other post, it will not cause interruption, and you require a reboot after installing Full-Text feature.

Document Management / Full Text Search in Projects & SolMan Directory
Hello experts!
I want to implement Full Text Search in my SolMan and therefore need your help.
I have installed Trex 7.10 and am already able to search within my Solution Database (Problems/Solutions).
Now I want to be able to search within all documents in my SolMan Installation - e.g. Roadmaps, SAP Scenario Descriptions or my own uploaded documents.
In the IMG I already found the section Document Management but I cannot get the needed RFCs (IMSDEFAULT and IMSDEFAULT_REG) working.
There is already a RFC called IMSDEFAULT, which was created during the installation of Trex and runs the
Registered Server-Program: Trex_SOT_20080327090311
I tried to configure my RFCs according to the IMG but, as I said, cannot manage to get them working.
I hope anybody has an idea or an guide on how to implement Full Text Search!
Please be so kind and provide help - thanks in advance!
Best regards
GeroldGerold,
I am running into the same issues because we want to do full text search on project documentation within Solution Manager. The default RFC connections IMSDEFAULT_REG and IMSDEFAULT do not work with the standard settings.
We created one index for IWBSOLAR so maybe I also need to check IWBPROJ in SKPR06 for project documentation and create a new index for this one ?
The indexing for IWBSOLAR now fails although there seem to be over 6000 documents marked but none are put in the index. After indexing there is a list of the documents all with code 6401 but cannot find any where what this code means. It seems to be succesful as all entries are green.
Any help/suggestions on this topice would be greatly appreciated. -
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

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 ;-) -

Are you sure that your indexer is finishing without any errors? Check activeindex.hda under \search directory to see what is the variable set for activeindex variable? If Oracle Text is the indexer search enabled then the variable activeindex should either OTS1 or OTS2. If anything else then you have indexer problems that is not indexing documents.
Check the CS log file to see if indexer errors are shown there. If yes, then put it over here so that we can analyse it.
Hope it helps
Thanks

Plz guideyou want to be able to search all fields in all tables?
I don't think this is possible to do in any RDMS! to be a developer you must know the schema. When I was working with Toad it had such an option. I guess it is still there. And that was one of the things that was really really useful.
Of cause TOAD knows the schema. And you could choose where you want to search (include trigger code or not, include data, etc.).
But I'm not sure if there are any requirements for this option. The question should be better asked in a quest-TOAD forum.

Using Punctuations in Full Text Searches
Hi, I'm having a bit of trouble implementing full text search effectively in regards to punctuations.
In my thesaurus file I have something along the lines of
<expansion>
<sub>intl</sub>
<sub>int'l</sub>
<sub>international</sub>
</expansion>
and when I run the query
select * from sys.dm_fts_parser('Formsof(freetext,"international")',1033,null,0)
it show's that it is included
international's
internationals
internationals'
international
intl
int'l
However when I do end up running the query using Contains, it ignores everything that contains int'l and only returns the results of the other matches.I am moving it to Search.

Hi Netpros,
when searching through the event log in CSA MC 5.2 we get the message that sql full text search is not installed.
Did not find any info on how to do this other than under "maintenance - database maintenance - full-text search":
SQL Server FullText Search service installed: No
SQL Server FullText Search service started: No
Full-text indexing enabled for database csamc52: No
Event table full-text indexing enabled: No
Auto-update of event full-text index enabled: No
Summary:
Full-text indexing enabled: No
Recommendations:
- install SQL Server FullText Search service (Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services or above needed).
How do i install the advanced services? Is it possible? Is it worth it? - I mean so far I found anything I was searching for?!
Thanks
JuergenHi Juergen,
I did not see an option to install the full text search when I did a manual install of SQL Express 2005 (but it says it's supported).
I just installed a new MC with SQL Server 2005 full version and fulltext search but haven't had a chance to see what difference it makes.
There is some info in the help file about what it can do.
Tom
