Multi Word Fuzzy

If my search text contains one word the query brings the results. If it contains more it gives error ORA-20000 ORACLE TEXT ERROR DRG-50901 TEXT QUERY PARSER SYNTAX ERROR.
Here's the query
SELECT DISTINCT D.DOC_ID,
DOCUBANK.GET_FOLDER( IC.FOLDER_ID ) FOLDER,
IC.INDEX_CARD
FROM DOCS D, INDEX_CARDS IC,
DOC_INDEX_FIELDS DIF
WHERE D.DOC_ID = DIF.DOC_ID
AND D.INDEX_CARD_ID = IC.INDEX_CARD_ID
AND ( (UPPER(DIF.VALUE) LIKE '%'||UPPER(:P10_SEARCH_TEXT)||'%'
OR UPPER(D.REMARKS) LIKE '%'||UPPER(:P10_SEARCH_TEXT)||'%')
OR CONTAINS (theBfile, 'fuzzy (' || :P10_SEARCH_TEXT ||')') > 0 )

You need to apply the fuzzy to each word. You can do so by replacing the single spaces in the middle as shown below. If you have double spaces, you will need to replace those first.
CONTAINS (theBfile, 'fuzzy (' || REPLACE (:P10_SEARCH_TEXT, ' ', ') fuzzy(') || ')') > 0

In Keyword List panel, need to support quotes for AND'ing multi-word keyword searches

As far as I know (and read around), there's no way to search multi-word keywords in the keywords list panel using the "Filter Keywords" box. i.e. If I want to search for the "Great Blue Heron" keyword in a large animal keywords list I have, Lightroom will OR the three words instead of AND'ing them like Aperture does more intuitively. Adding quotes like "Great Blue Heron" doesn't work either. Again this is to filter a large keyword lists through the "Filter Keywords" box in the Keywords List panel.
Am I missing something? Is it possible to AND multi-word keywords?
Thanks.

Rob,
as far as I know spaces are also contained and allowed in controlled vocabularies (e.g. for the "official" names of animals 'little panda' for example and plants). I'm using spaces for names very often. As a prof. photographer I need to write captions for all of my images before sending them to my agency with WHEN/WHAT/WHERE/WHO etc. So when shooting persons very often or regular (e.g. politicians or athletes) I started years ago to create keywords and hierarchies for them. So it is much easier and more comfortable to assign them later.
Please check out PhotoMechanic or IMatch. These progs doesn't have any problems with spaces in keywords and keyword searches...
BTW: when using a space in a search I expect that the default behaviour of such a space is a locical AND.

How to Create a Multi Word Keyword

How do you join a multi-word keyword so it is recognized as one keyword? i.e. If you want "New York", not "New" and "York." Do you put it in quotes? Isolate it with commas? Other?

I try to do this in Library Mode, Keyword Creation box, I get 2 words.
Example, I type Los Angeles and get: Angeles, Los
Nothing I try works. I know it is common since I imported 200,000 images and I see lots of word combos used as keywords.
I read the manual, looked at tutorials, read an existing thread on this, can't find the simple answer.
I am about to start keywording my 200,000 images from the last 12 years, I need to learn this at the get go...
How to friends?

In my experience, the keyword entry boxes (for adding keywords), properly treat spaces as data.
You may need to adjust your preferences (Interface tab):
When searching for said keywords after entry: not so much - Lr treats spaces as delimiter, not data - not as part of the search term...
I use SpaceUrchin, some people use AnyFilter, for finding metadata with spaces in it.

Smart Collection matching a multi-word Keyword

I have the following multi-word keywords:
"through the years"
"kelly through the years"
"mike through the years"
I want to create a smart collection which only matches if the keyword is "through the years". I do not want the smart collection to match the other two.
Is this possible?

I agree that this is a design oversight that should be corrected. However, one could argue that a keyword entirely contained in another should be represented by a hierarchy. While the OP does not make it clear what the relationship is between "through the years" alone and "kelly through the years" it would seem that the concept of "kelly through the years" would be better represented with keyword beneath "through the years" and as such would not need to contain the string "through the years".
Also the OP states that the keyword "Kelly" exists on it's own and is distinct from "kelly through the years". It is not clear to me why just the keywords "through the years" and "Kelly" could not exist as flat keyword (no hierarchy). To achieve the concept of "kelly through the years" you would apply both. Then a simple AND condition would find the desired images.
In short I think this is a case of a flawed keyword hierarchy.
Again I agree that an exact match option should be provided.

An add on or feature which could do a multi word search ?

On firefox, if there was an addon or a feature which could do multi word / multi string search.
Lets say we could add one more find bar or better, add multiple find bars.
thank you

How Separate Keywords? How Join Multi-Word Keywords?

1. How are Keywords required to be separated? Is a space sufficient or is a comma or something else required?
2. How do you join a multi-word keyword so it is recognized as one keyword? i.e. If you want "New York", not "New" and "York." Do you put it in quotes? Isolate it with commas? Other?

Yes, "New York" should come through as one Keyword. ( At least "Grand Canyon" does on mine.)
The "user manual": My mistake, I should have written "User Guide". Oops!
It is essentially the same as the help you get from the Menu>Help>Lightroom Help.
But it is a .PDF guide that I find easier to navigate and can bookmark.
You should have gotten a copy with your Lightroom Download but you can download another copy with Menu>Help>Help Resources Online and click on the PDF link.
Best of Luck

K7N2 Delta2 - Multi-Word DMA Mode 2

Well, I was having problems getting windows XP to access my Seagate SATA 120 Gig Hard Drive at anything other than Multi-Word DMA Mode 2. Finally figured out what I had to do. After messing with cables and SATA connections and generally mucking around for several days, I decided, just for giggles, to enable RAID.
Did not want to run RAID configuration but it worked. The listing in windows Device Manager now shows the drive as Ultra DMA Mode 6. When you enable RAID in BIOS make sure to go in and enable it for SATA as well (consult manual). When I rebooted it asked to hit F10 to set up RAID, this I ignored. Finished booting into windows and new hardware wizard started up. Inserted floppy disk (included in Motherboard bundle) with the NVIDIA raid drivers. That was all. I expect that if you are experiencing similar problems with ATA disks, it might work there too. Hmmm, maybe I will give that a try next!
I had sent a number of email to tech support and they never mentioned this, food for thought!

Another update just came in from MSI support;
Quote
Would you please follow the steps below to verify?
1. connect to the SATA HDD to SATA1 on the MB;
2. boot system up and enter BIOS, Load Optimized defaults; set Integrated PeripheralsàOnboard DeviceàSerial ATAàEnabled;Save&exit setup;
3. enter OS, go to Device Manager, expand IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers, right click NVIDIA nForce2
SATA Controller and select Properties,choose Primary Channel,then check what transfer mode the SATA HDD works at. We suggest you capture the picture and send it to us. Thanks!
Well, since I was already connected to SATA1 I decided, why not. Maybe third time is a charm (installing the NVIDA drivers that is). So I downloaded the drivers from their link, installed, and rebooted. I now have NVidia MCPS2S Parallel ATA Controller (v2.6) and NVidia MCPS2S Serial ATA Compatible Controller (v2.6) in the device manager under "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers".
When I checked the details of the Serial ATA controller the Seagate drive shows up as Serial ATA DMA for transfer mode. When I checked the Parallel controller my IDE drive shows up as Ultra DMA 5 - Ultra 100 for transfer mode. Looks like all is good now and as it should be.
NOTE: had to disable RAID on a reboot to get drive to show up in Windows...hmmm. It worked what can I say!
Thanks to the people at MSI support for convincing me to install the NVidia driver set again.
P.S. NVIDIA nForce2 System Drivers for MCP2S
God I like it when a plan comes together! Hooah!

Re: Fuzzy search - more accurate score??
there is very less possibility of repetition of words in a row
utl match seems to work perfect only when the order of appearance of words is same
if you can suggest a way to get a very close score for cat_id 23803 and 12790 it would be much appreciated

the query is working accurately technically
but is there any way to get 10578 on top
the requirement is
---first
solar water heater
solar water heater dealers
solar water heater manufacturers
solar water heater distributors
solar water heater sales
solar water heater repairs and servicing
---followed by
SOLAR WATER HEATER REPAIRS & SERVICES-TATA SOLAR
SOLAR WATER HEATER-KAMAL SOLAR
SOLAR WATER HEATER DEALERS-TATA BP SOLAR   etc etc
so if the end user types in "solar water" the top row would have a row from the table that has what the end user has entered followed by "dealers" or "manufacturers" or "distributors" or "sales" or "repairs and servicing"
so if a row contains "solar water dealer" it shows up on top
or(if "solar water dealer" is not there and "solar water manufacturers" or "solar water distributors" etc is not present)
a row from the table that has what the end user has entered PLUS "heater" followed by "dealers" or "manufacturers" or "distributors" or "sales" or "repairs and servicing"
so "solar water heater dealers" shows up on top
these words - "dealers" , "manufacturers" , "distributors" , "sales" , "repairs and servicing" etc remain constant
what i am using right now is

END IF;
end home_old;
{code}
the flow is to find what the end user has entered in category table ,if a match exists,find all reg_ids from test_test materialized view that have selected the matched cat_id..
the test_test materialized view lists each company cat_id-selected-by-that-company number of times
if no match is found in category table what the end user has entered could be a company so a search in name column of test_test2 materialized view..
this materialized view has one entry for each company

Using multi-word keywords in "Find"

Let's say I have a keyword: "Downtown LA", and another keyword, "Downtown SLC". If I use the Lightroom "Find" option to search for "Downtown LA", it will actually find any images with "Downtown" as part of its keywording, including the "Downtown SLC" images.
I tried wrapping the keyword phrase in quotes to see if that would give me an exact phrase search, but it doesn't work that way apparently. I know I could drop down to the keyword browser, but let's say I'm looking for all images with both the "Downtown LA" keyword, AND the "Family Vacation" keyword. How would I search for such an intersection when the "find" menu locks in on individual words rather than the entire keyword phrase?

>You might want to check out the Keyboard Shortcuts and Search Rules document in the FAQ on this forum. There is a section which contains all the search arguments which allow you to do some pretty fancy stuff, including finding just "Salt Lake City"
I have a copy of that...it doesn't work.
Text: Keywords
Rule: Contains All
Text Field: Black Canyon
What I expect are photos with a keyword containing "black" and "canyon".
What I get are any photo with a keyword or any of its parents containing "black" and a keyword or any of its parents containing "canyon".
So, in addition to photos of Black Canyon Dam and photos taken in Back Canyon I also get photos of Black Birds taken in Canyon County.
This can be "fixed" by changing "Black birds" to "Blackbirds" and surrounding "Black" in the text field with plus signs...this is silly.
The space character is a ligitimate keyword character and ought to be treat as such if it does not appear at the beginning or end of a keyword.
The keyword entry panel uses commas as delimiters. Why are spaces used as delimiters in the Find panel?
How about the same delimiter (a comma) everywhere?

Crash when adding new multi-word event to month view

Recently updated(?) to Leopard from 10.4.11. Now, adding a new event to iCal when in month view often causes a crash. Sequence is:
0) click in desired date box to start new event
1) type first word of event, type space, start typing second word
2) input freezes after a few chars and acts as if I had exited the input box
3) reclick on the input to edit/complete it
4) * crash *
Log shows:
Nov 29 16:20:44 dhcp108 iCal[7097]: * -[NSCFString occurrenceItemsForKey:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x26271fe0

This is also driving me nuts... Actually, I have not even figured out how to even enter a new appointment in month view. It used to be double-click, enter name, hit <tab> and fill out he rest in the panel, but this routine does not work any more.

How to pass multiple words as a search argument on the Acrobat Command Line?

I am trying to launch Acrobat using a multi-word search parameter on a Windows XP box. However, Acrobat is stripping the spaces between words. For example, I am trying to load Acrobat and have it search for the phrase "vision changes" using a Command Line like this:
C:\>"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /A search="vision changes" c:\temp\theDocument.pdf
When Acrobat loads, it shows the search panel with the phrase "visionchanges" in it. The space between the two words is gone and naturally it can't find the phrase.
I have read both the PDF Command Line parameter documents I could find. This format works fine for URLs, but for Shelling Acrobat on the local system, it doesn't work because of the space stripping problem. I have tried lots of different variants of quote characters, escape characters, even HTML characters like "&nbps;", but nothing works.
Does anyone have an answer?
For the curious here are links to the two PDF documents I found that cover the command line arguments:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/PDFOpenParameters.pdf
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_open_parameters.pdf
Thanks,
Robert

Hey Robert,
Did you note that in the "pdf_open_parameters.pdf" document, it says that the value of the Search parameter is treated as a list of (single) words, not as a string of words (phrase)?
It says it explicitly: "You can search only for single words. You cannot search for a string of words."
PS: I'm replying to your query as a sort of thank you for posting the links to those documents. It helped me to find the way of conditioning how to open a pdf.

How can you detect all words and phrases in a text document using java?

Is there some java API which would help me extract all words, multi-word phrases, punctuations in an English text document? I would also like to get the order in which they appear with sentence detection. I've been searching for this in java NLP packages, but haven't found anything yet.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ajith

I don't understand what you actually want, but if your on about having a file and splitting it up into sentences then i would look into either psudocode or parsing strings, theres not a java api as far as i know that does anything like you want, you would have to write it yourself or find a project someone else has made.

How do I find duplicate words in a Numbers spreadsheet?

Hello, I've created my first document on Numbers and am trying to figure out how to find duplicate words. Ideally, a list of words that repeat in the document and how many times. Is this possible? Thank you in advance for the advice

It's easy enough to find and count duplicate entries, especially if they are all in a single column, but if you want to count individual words within multi word entries, the problem is more complicated.
Here's an example for the 'simple' case, using a familiar 155 word passage from English literature.
The words in the passage are separated into a single line for each word, and stripped of all punctuation. This may be done in Pages, or in Text edit, or in pretty much any word processing software or text editor. Paste the passage into a WP or text document, then use the application's Find/Replace feature to replace all of the spaces with returns. I would also do a second pass replacing all double returns with single returns, then repeat that until Find/Replace reported replacing zero occurrences.
Punctuation was stripped using Find/Replace
The prepared list was pasted into column A of a Numbers table.
Formulas:
B2: =COUNTIF($A$1:A2,A2)
C2: =IF(AND(B>1,B=COUNTIF($A,A2)),ROW()-1,999999)
Fill both down their respective columns to the end of the table.
The small table is inserted as a Basic table using the Tables button. It contains a Header row, but no Header columns.
Formula:
A2: =IFERROR(OFFSET(Table 1 :: $A$1,SMALL(Table 1 :: $C,ROW()-1),COLUMN()-1),"")
Fill right into B2, then fill both down to the end of the table.
Descriptions of the functions used, along with their syntax and at least one example of their use in a table are available in the Numbers '09 User Guide, which may be downloaded via the Help menu in Numbers.

Barry

Underlining just the word(s) in selected text string

How do I get InDesign 2 or 3 to underline just the individual words selected and NOT the spaces?
We work with legal documents and we have to style them exactly the way the judge has indicated (some underline everything, some just the words). This can become a time consuming endeavor when there are multi-worded court cases cited and sometimes over one hundred cites within one document.
This was quick and easy under Quark, either from the control palette (click of a button) or the keyboard shortcut (Apple + shift + W). This shortcut closes the document in InDesign (even though the keyboard shortcut for that is supposed to be just Apple + W, both do the same thing). I could reassign the shortcut if I could find the action to link it too (but can't find the action even mentioned in the Help or the forums).
Have checked under the Underline Options dialog, but there isn't anything there that would solve this problem.
If there isn't a direct way to do it in InDesign, is there some sort of plug-in available that anyone knows about?
Thanks in advance.

I don't believe there's a direct way to do it in Indesign. There are some shortcuts that help.
In CS4 you can set up a GREP search to find Words, set Change Format to change "basic character format" to include underline, then do a replace all in selection. You can set up keyboard shortcuts for some of this, but a script would be even more convenient.
Unfortunately, with the normal "Find" function, the "character" wildcard also seems to find spaces, and there isn't a "whole word" wildcard, so this won't work in CS2 or CS3.
The best I can think of at the moment is: Underline the whole text. Set Find What to find spaces (^w), leave Change To blank but in the Change Format box, turn off underline on Basic Character Formatting. Close the dialog box. Then, placing the cursor at the beginning, press shift-F3 (the standard shortcut for "Replace with Change To text and find next") for each space in the sentence. You can zip through the section fairly quickly.
This is really a job for scripting -- the script should change all characters in the selection to underline, then change all white space characters in the selection back to non-underline. Scripts can be assigned a keyboard shortcut for ultimate convenience.

Preview thumbnail sidebar fuzzy

Not sure what changed on my system but the sidebar in preview for thumbnails is for lack of a better word fuzzy. see attached. Any idea of what is going on here or better yet what the fix is?

Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Remove the following. You may not find them all.
