Is a Full Text Index search case sensitive or not in SQL Server 2012?

I setup full text index on my contact table and am attempting to run a search on it using the following query:
SELECT *
FROM sysdba.Contact C
WHERE CONTAINS(C.FirstName, 'Test')
OR CONTAINS(C.LastName, 'Test')
The problem is it's clearly running a case sensitive search. I did a quick search to find out how to change it to be case in-sensitive and found two pages (both for SQL Server 2012) with conflicting answers:
1 - MSDN - "Query with Full-Text Search" - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms142583(v=sql.110).aspx
Case sensitivity
Full-text search queries are case-insensitive. However, in Japanese, there are multiple phonetic orthographies in which the concept of orthographic normalization is akin to case insensitivity (for example, kana = insensitivity). This type of orthographic normalization
is not supported.
1 - TechNet - "Full-Text Search (SQL Server)" - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms142571(v=sql.110).aspx
Full-text queries are
not case-sensitive. For example, searching for "Aluminum" or "aluminum" returns the same results.
Can someone please explain this? Is it possible to do it without it being case sensitive? If yes, how?
(Sorry, I couldn't make those links b/c TechNet hasn't verified my account)
Thank you for your time and help,
Hanan

Whats the collation setting for the columns? try using a case insensitive collation as below
SELECT *
FROM sysdba.Contact C
WHERE CONTAINS(C.FirstName COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, 'Test')
OR CONTAINS(C.LastName COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, 'Test')
Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs

Full text index searching in large document sets

I have been placed in charge of a digital PDF document library for a small biotech company. The library consists of about 1000 100-300 page .pdf documents which have been scanned and OCRed. In order to facilitate the full text searching of the documents a PDX catalog has been created. In theory, the PDX catalog would seem to be an excellent means of quickly accessing the data, but due the sheer volume of text that is contained in the documents this does not seem to be the case.
Any given search may take hours to complete and many computers in the department have been known to lock up due to the load of running a search. Obviously, this has made using the PDX search more of a hassle than it is worth.
I do not know exactly how the index searches work, but from what I gather they somehow search within each document in turn and return to you all the instances in all the documents that contain a certain term. If this is the case, than it would make sense that the searches would take a long time because the search would have to search each of the 1000 documents in sequence.
The thing is: we really do not need to know the context and placement of every instance that a word appears in a document. All we need to know is IF it appears, and perhaps how many times. Is there a way to make an index that will simply give us this information without having to search the actual document?
Heres an example of what I am trying to achieve:
Note: I know almost nothing about full text indexes so please forgive me if any of this sounds insane
Lets say we have a document called "word count.pdf" which contained the following text:
"blah blah yadda yadda text Recombinant human insulin more text still texting and so on"
And another called "word count 2.pdf" with the following text
"Recombinant human insulin and la la la dee do"
The indexes for these files could be condensed and stored like this:
"Word count.pdf"
Blah 2
yadda 2
recombinant 1
human 1
insulin 1
text 2
texting 1
and 1
so 1
on 1
"Word count 2.pdf"
recombinant 1
human 1
insulin 1
and 1
la 3
dee 1
do 1
In this example, if we were to run a search on "text" the index would return "word count.pdf, 3 instances (2 of text and 1 of texting" whereas if we were to search for "recombinant" it would return both "word count.pdf, 1 instance" and "word count 2.pdf, 1 instance".
This way, I could quickly weed out all documents that do not have the word that I am looking for and get an idea about which documents should be searched more in depth without scanning every single instance of the term in every document.
Is there any way to accomplish something similar to this using acrobat? (Or anything else, for that matter)
My specifications: (similar to specs of all computers searching the pdx):
Windows XP,
intel celeron CPU 2.6GHz, 1G of ram
Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional

Look at dTSearch. We used the publisher version for a CD with large files sets (with hundreds of pages per file/thousands of PDF pages of multicolumn index data - text heavy), and it does a great job. The desktop version would provide the type of searching you are looking for. Indexing is also very fast. Our customer complained, like yourself, about the speed of searches in Acrobat 6 and higher - most of the delay is due to the population of the results window.

How to Use FULL TEXT Indexing Search on file names with brackets

I would like to use a FULL Text Seach query to find Files on a windows file system
The Problem is when the case comes up where there is a parentheses"()" in the file name. This example was created from a file copy being pasted in the same folder location as the original a few times.
Here is my code:
DECLARE
@SearchWord VARCHAR(50)
SET @SearchWord = '"KAP1556PP_P01(2).jpg"'
SELECT [FileName], [FilePath] FROM [dbo].[tblLegalPlan] WHERE CONTAINS(*, @SearchWord)
When I use Double quotes for the @Searchword I recieve no results.
SET
@SearchWord = '"KAP1556PP_P01(2).jpg"'
When I remove the Double Quotes for the @Searchword I recieve an error message:
SET
@SearchWord = 'KAP1556PP_P01(2).jpg'
Msg 7630, Level 15, State 2, Line 8
Syntax error near '(' in the full-text search condition 'KAP1556PP_P01(2).jpg'.
When I search for files containing TEXT up to the bracket i Get undesrired results obviously:
SET
@SearchWord = '"KAP1556PP_P01*"'
Results
FileName FilePath
KAP1556PP_P01(1).jpg BC\EPP\KAP
KAP1556PP_P01(2).jpg BC\EPP\KAP
I would like results where I can search for the file name and only one file is found matching the search word.
Thanks

How to Configuring case sensitivity for NFS on Windows Server 2012

Configure Case Sensitivity for File and Folder Names
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc725747.aspx
To configure case sensitivity for file and folder names using the command prompt
Open a command prompt.
To enable case sensitivity, type:
nfsadmin server [ComputerName] config casesensitivelookups=yes
But, "casesensitivelookups" is removed in Windows 2012 version.
Help Me~

Hi,
Sorry for the delayed response.
According to the following article, we still can use
nfsadmin to configure case sensitivity for Server for NFS in Windows Server 2012.
Nfsadmin
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771599.aspx
Note:We
need to disable Windows kernel case-insensitivity in order for Server for NFS to support case-sensitive file names. We can disable Windows kernel case-insensitivity by clearing the following registry key to 0:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\kernel
DWORD “obcaseinsensitive”
Hope it helps.
Best regards,

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:

SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition and Full Text Indexing

Hello, we have recently upgraded our web front end server from SQL Server 2005 (Standard Edition) to SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition (in conjuction with upgrading our main production servers to SQL 2008 R2 Standard). We have 12 Databases on our production
SQL Server that are replicated to our web frontend server to the SQL Express instance. One of these databases has a FULL TEXT INDEX. The production database is running the Adobe iFilter version 9 64Bit. The FULL TEXT CATALOG has been created and populated
and performs searches as intended. However, upon replication, when using the search option on our web page based on that PDF iFilter, it no longer works. After examining the properties of the FULL TEXT CATALOG, we note that the Catalog size on the subscriber
end is 0MB in size (whereas it is 3MB on the Publication side). Also the Unique Key Count on the subscriber side is '1' whereas on the publisher side it is 30,000+. After examining the FT Indexing logs on the subscriber side shows an error: "Warning: No appropriate
filter was found during full-text index population" On the subscriber side which is running Windows Server 2003 and SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition, Adobe Reader 10.1.1 is installed (all 32Bit) with the Adobe iFilter AcroRdIF.dll. When running the SELECT
* from sys.fulltext_document_types T-Sql statement, the list returned shows the PDF filter to be installed and shows the correct path. Under the System Environment Variables, that path has also been installed (from previous recommendations in researching this
problem). After numerous reboots, service restarts and re-attempts to get the FT Daemon to crawl - no success. Can anyone please help with this problem? Is there something I am missing? In an attempt to work around this problem thinking there might be a version
conflict between the 64Bit version on the publisher and the 32Bit version on the subscriber, I disabled the replication of the FULL TEXT CATALOG and tried to create a new catalog on the subscriber with the same results. Thank you for your answers in advance
- Fustrated! Sorry, somehow this got posted originally under Server Design

Hello Jeff hope your still out there. I wrote this question 2 years ago and upgraded to SQL Express with advanced services. Full Text replication worked until last week. We are operating in a virtual environment. My publisher box
is a Windows Server 2008 R2 (64bit) with SQL Server Standard Edition. My Web front subscriber is a Windows 2003 R2 (32bit) Server with SQL Server 2008 R2 Express SP1 with Advanced Services. Now the exact same thing is happening after 2+ years.
We are looking for possible updates that might have broken this but I am stretching that. Any clues please? 32bit vs. 64bit?

Full Text Search in PDF file Not Working in SQL Server 2012

OS: Windows Server 2012 @ Azure
DB: SQL Server 2012 SP 1 with Cum Update 6
Filter: OfficeFilter installed, PDFFilter64 11 installed (actually I tried 9 too)
I have done the following steps:-
1. Configure SQL Server Instance to enable FILESTREAM for Transaction-SQL Access (IO Access and Allow Remote Client Access to FileStream data) and restart the instance service.
2. Set Stream Access Level to Full Access and
3. Create Database with file stream folder and set the created database Properties.Options: FileStreamDirectorName = fileContainer and FileStream Non-Transaction Access = Full.
4. Create a FileTable with file director
5. Execute the following scripts to ensure all installed components working. PDF is listed as one of the supported filter.
EXEC sp_fulltext_service @action='load_os_resources', @value=1;
EXEC sp_fulltext_service 'verify_signature', 0 -- don't verify signatures
EXEC sp_fulltext_service 'update_languages'; -- update language list
EXEC sp_fulltext_service 'restart_all_fdhosts';
EXEC sp_help_fulltext_system_components 'filter'
reconfigure with override
6. Copy a few PPTX, DOCX, PDF file into the file director.
7. Search the data by following command. I can PPTX and DOCX files can return right result but PDF is not returned although it contains the searching contents.
SELECT *
FROM dbo.Course
WHERE CONTAINS(file_stream, 'Counsellor');
Any expert advise?

Are you seeing any errors in the SQL Server Error Log, the Windows Application or System logs? How about in the Full-text crawl logging?
Troubleshooting Errors in a Full-Text Population (Crawl)
If your server has a mix of multi-threaded iFilters and single-threaded iFilters, this can cause serious problems with building the full text index. (How do I know this? Well, let's just say that I have suffered as well. And I was shocked!)
The efficiency was greatly increased by this article:
Troubleshooting: Slow Full-Text Indexing Performance Due to Filtering Process
This means changing the threading model for the multi-threaded (e.g. Microsoft Office) filters to be Apartment Threaded. Or perhaps if you are full text indexing PDF files, abandoning the free single-threaded Adobe IFilter and purchasing the FoxIt
(or some other) multi-threaded PDF iFilter would benefit you.

How do I make search case sensitive

I created a search region of type "query" using a simpleSearchPanel. The instructions say the search is case-sensitive when running the page but it appears it is not. Can anyone tell me how to make the search case sensitive?

Please check if you have followed these guidelines
Rule 2 : If your view attribute is of type String(VARCHAR2), and if the item has the Selective Search Criteria property set to false, then OA Framework generates a case-insensitive simple WHERE clause based on the CRITERIA_CONDITION and the CRITERIA_VALUE.
Rule 3: If your view attribute is of type String(VARCHAR2), and the item has the Selective Search Criteria property set to true, then OA Framework generates a case-insensitive WHERE clause using a four-way join to ensure that the index is used.

Large text with national caracters and full text index

Hello,
I have some large portion of string to index. So of these strings contains national characters so I have stored it into a NCLOB column. I would like to put a full text index of this column but I see that it is not possible for NCLOB column.
Does anybody have the problem as me? If yes, how did you proceed? Could the XMLType be a solution ?
Thanks for your help.
Kind regards,
Fred

Hi Fred,
"I do not think that I can manage all these characters with only one character set."
Sure you can. The main reason for using the NLS characterset has nothing to do with whether you can/cannot support multiple languages with your database charset. It is there primarily in case your db characterset is not some unicode/multibyte charset and you need to add support for it while maintaining your original db charset. A secondary reason is for certain performance considerations, but that is for specific application architectures and doesn't seem to be the case here. One of my apps supports virtually every language on Earth - not using the 'N''s'. I'm using AL32UTF8 - it is up to Unicode 4.0 in version 10gR2 of the db.
Choose a unicode character set for your db and you're fine unless you have some overwhelming reason why you are unable to do so. Any Text index will work for you and your problem is solved (and ctxxpath and context index will both work - just compare your requirements to the functionality provided by the index type).

Problem with Office document structure when exporting in Windows vs full-text indexing in SQL Server

Post Author: Atarel
CA Forum: Exporting
Product: Crystal Report for .Net 2005Version: distributed with VS 2005Patches Applied: hot fix crnet20win32x86_en_chf.zipOperating System(s): Win2000 Pro SP4, WinXP SP2, Win 2003 Server SP1, Win 2003 Server SP2Database(s): SQL Server 2000, SQL Server 2005Error Messages: None
We are creating reports with Crystal Report for .Net. We both have a Windows and a Web application connecting to our database. The problem occurs only with the Windows application. We create a report and in the dialog that appears, we choose to export the report in MS Word format. Everythinglooks fine because after we save the document, MS Word is able to open and display the document. However, when we decide to add this Word document in the database in a table that has a image column bound to a full-text indexing schema, that document is never indexed. After fiddling around for a few hours, we realized that the Word document produced during the export is not a true Word document but rather a RTF document that was given a ".doc" extension. Is there a way to have a real Word document when exporting in Windows. The problem does not arise in Web because when we export, the report is displayed in Internet Explorer through the Office plugin. The Office plugin knows how to same a real Word document.
There is also a problem when exporting to Excel in Windows. It does not yield the same structure as in Web. The format of the export in Windows is not compatible with the Office IFilter of SQL Server 2000/2005, therefore the content is not available for search queries.
Any patches to fix this problem?

Ian Perreault

We are creating reports with Crystal Report for .Net. We both have a Windows and a Web application connecting to our database. The problem occurs only with the Windows application. We create a report and in the dialog that appears, we choose to export the report in MS Word format. Everythinglooks fine because after we save the document, MS Word is able to open and display the document. However, when we decide to add this Word document in the database in a table that has a image column bound to a full-text indexing schema, that document is never indexed. After fiddling around for a few hours, we realized that the Word document produced during the export is not a true Word document but rather a RTF document that was given a ".doc" extension. Is there a way to have a real Word document when exporting in Windows. The problem does not arise in Web because when we export, the report is displayed in Internet Explorer through the Office plugin. The Office plugin knows how to same a real Word document.
There is also a problem when exporting to Excel in Windows. It does not yield the same structure as in Web. The format of the export in Windows is not compatible with the Office IFilter of SQL Server 2000/2005, therefore the content is not available for search queries.
Any patches to fix this problem?

Embedding full-text index via Script

Hello Everyone,
is there possibility to create and embed full-text index into my very long document via scripting Acrobat Pro? I've searched scripting API and there are objects like catalog or index, but both have only several methods and no embeding is mentioned there. Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Thanks, but from this statement I am not sure if we are talking about the same thing. I mean index for full-text search - allowing to get immediate results after entering the search phrase, without any delay and (often quite slow) processing of the whole content. Now it is possible to embed it via Acrobat menu. I am asking whether this action has any equivalent in scripting API. I'd like to automate this process as now I have to do it manually via GUI (but luckily for the limited number of documents only).

Unable to full text index the contents in Oracle 11g UCM

Hi,
I am new to the Oracle UCM 11g.
i am unable to full text index the content files that are check-in into the Oracle UCM.
I have added the below entries in config.cfg file:
SearchIndexerEngineName=OracleTextSearch
IndexerDatabaseProviderName= SystemDatabase
AdditionalEscapeChars=-;#
While performing the indexing operation using Repository Manager only, metadata of the content files are indexed, but full text is not getting indexed.
What is missing here in Oracle UCM for not fulltext indexing the contents? What configurations do i need to do for this so that i can search perform the full text search on the Contents in Oracle UCM?
Thanks in Advance

Hi Srinath,
Collection rebuild cycle runs perfectly fine. After enabling tracing for Indexer and systemdatabse, i got the below info in the log:
"Finished rebuilding the search index with a total of 123 files successfully indexed. A total of 0 files had a full text index."
The below is the details of the activeindex.hda:
<?hda version="11gR1-11.1.1.3.0-idcprod1-100505T121221" jcharset=UTF8 encoding=utf-8?>
@Properties LocalData

Is it possible that OracleTestSearch Component is missing in Oracle UCM?
Thanks

Broken Full Text Index

I just created a portfolio with 78 pdf documents. Some 4000 pages. The portfolio was created to give away for free on CD's. The index was built on the portfolio. The index was imbedded into the portfolio. When opened in Reader, the Full Text Index works fine on the build computer before the creating the CD master. The Index partially works on the CD. The part that does not work is searching itself. The search only takes 6 seconds with 16497 instances in 75 documents. (But the link to the portfolio page is broken. The names of the document found are displayed properly, but the Error Message-'There was an error retrieving text' is displayed. The cd's are made (Since everything else is working and the CD is at the duplicators) I have to go with what I have for this round. I am looking for a fix for the next batch and I am looking for a temporary fix to distribute through dropbox where I can download a new Full Text Index, an updated portfolio or both to those who received the CD at the conference. I thought I had a fix by going to 'Select Index...' and removing the indexes present and adding the correct index. That worked on the build computer but does not work other computers. This is what I tried.
1. Copy the following files into a new folder on your computer. (You may name it.)
Kodak_Catalogues.pdf
Full_Text_Index.pdx
Full_Text_Index (folder)
(You may copy the other files and folders but you do not need them.)
2. Right Click 'Full_Text_Index.pdx' open with Adobe Reader
3. Select 'Show More Options' at the bottom of the box
4. Under 'Look in:" at the top of the box choose; 'Select Index…'
5. Remove all index choices that are checked in black. Remove all indexes that are grayed out. With the 'Remove' button.
6. Select the 'Add' button.
Navigate to the folder that the files are located in and select the file:
Full_Text_Index.pdx
7. Select the 'Open' button
8. Select the 'OK' button
9. Under 'Where would you like to search?'
Select the radio button: 'In the index named Full_Text_Index.pdx'
10. Type in a keyword, I used 'Kodak' for my test.
11. Results: should be 75 documents with 16497 instances.
12. On my computer the search takes 6 seconds.
13. Feel free to contact me at: if I can be of further assistance.
14. I apologize for not knowing about this issue.
This is my first portfolio. Because everything worked perfectly on the build, I missed this one. Thanks for any information that might help me solve the issue.

Hello Dileep,
How have you Setup "Track changes" for the full text catalog, is it set to "Automatically" or "manually" ?

Is a Full Text Index search case sensitive or not in SQL Server 2012?
