Partial Search

Hey all
Wondering if anyone would have any idea how to do a partial search of a database in a servlet. I'm doing a database on songs so lets say someone just enters the first word of a song i need to be able to search for that and return details on that song.
Kat

I don't think i explained it properly!!
There is a html page where a person enters the name of the song they want to search for. The variable name is "name". In my servlet i have written an sql statement to search for this song
rs = statement.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM Songs where (Name = '"+name+"')");
but i need a statement that will do a search if the person just enters part of the song title in the html page!!
I really don't have a clue where to go with this!!

  • Recently I have not been able to download any podcasts; everything freezes up before it even partially searches.

    Recently I have not been able to download any podcasts,  I have a PC laptop, Windows 7,
    Three times I have uninstalled Itunes and installed, problem still remains; the entire systems freezes up, even before it partially searches. Any ideas?

  • *BUG* Open Parameters Partial Search Does Not Work

    Similar question: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1773556
    Quite simply, using the open parameter #search=<keyword list> does not work at all if the search terms are partial matches.
    For example, if a document contains:
    abcdefg
    abcdef
    abcde
    abcd
    If I use the open parameter #search="abc", this will return ZERO results.
    If I use the open parameter #search="abcd", this will return ONE result.
    Is this intended? Is this a bug? Is Adobe going to respond to this?

    It isn't a bug. Read the documentation:

  • Arrays: Partial Search terms

    Hello and thanks for taking the time to read this question!
    I've been working on a simple college search program for my APCS class, a quick description of the program: Basically it takes a specially formated text file called collegeDatabase.dat and loads it into an array of blankCollege Objects (which extend collegeAbstract, code is below)
    blankCollege
    public class blankCollege extends collegeAbstract
         public blankCollege()
              super();
    }collegeAbstract
    //Abstract College Type
    //Copyright aolszowka 2006
    abstract public class collegeAbstract implements collegeInterface
         protected String collegeName;
         protected String collegeTypePP; //Private or Public?
         protected int collegeSize;
         protected String collegeMascot;
         protected String collegeCityType;
         protected int collegeCost;
         protected String collegeLocation;
         //DEBUG MODE?
         protected boolean debugMode = false;
         public collegeAbstract()
              collegeName = "null";
              collegeTypePP = "null"; //Private or Public?
              collegeSize = 0;
              collegeMascot = "null";
              collegeCityType = "null";
              collegeCost = 0;
              collegeLocation = "null";
         //College Constuctor
         public void setCollege(String college_Name, String college_Location, String college_TypePP, int college_Size, String college_Mascot, String college_CityType, int college_Cost)
              collegeName = college_Name;
              collegeTypePP = college_TypePP;
              collegeSize = college_Size;
              collegeMascot = college_Mascot;
              collegeCityType = college_CityType;
              collegeCost = college_Cost;
              collegeLocation = college_Location;
         //Recall Variables
           (edited out for space sake)
         //DEBUG GOODIES
         public String toStringDebug()
              return (collegeName+" "+collegeLocation+" "+collegeTypePP+" "+collegeSize+" "+collegeMascot+" "+collegeCityType+" "+collegeCost);
    }Now I figured this would be the hardest part (but thanks to the power of google and the Java Docs it wasn't :D)! So at this point I can load the database and do basic seraches like this one
    searchCollege
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    public class searchCollege
         collegeAbstract[] collegeArray = {null};
         public searchCollege(collegeAbstract[] collegeDatabase)
              collegeArray = collegeDatabase; //This is the Database loaded from loadColleges
         public String[] searchNames(String collegeName)
              //Create Search Array
              ArrayList<String> searchingColleges = new ArrayList<String>(0);
              int answerArraySize = 0;
              for(int i=0;i<collegeArray.length;i++)
                   if((collegeArray.collegeName.toUpperCase()).equals(collegeName.toUpperCase()))
                        searchingColleges.add(answerArraySize,(collegeArray[i].collegeName));
                        answerArraySize++;
              //Create Return Array
              String[] foundColleges = (String[])searchingColleges.toArray(new String[searchingColleges.size()]);
              return foundColleges;
    The problem with this is that the user needs to enter in the exact name of the college, is there a way to get partial matches? Now I found a previous post about partial matches @ http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=653541&messageID=3841115 but from my understanding the array needs to be sorted, and when I attempt to sort my collegeDatabase I can't, it throws the exception "ClassCastException" so I guess I can't perform a binary search (because the array cant be sorted)?
    Once again thanks for taking the time to read my problem, if you need any more information (or the whole project file) just please request and I would be happy to post it.

    I do not understand the use of an abstract class at
    all. If the abstract class implements all the methods
    of the interfaces it implements then why is it
    abstract?Well one of two reasons, the project(Actually the teacher) calls for 4 parts:
    1. Must have an Abstract Class
    2. Must have an Interface
    3. Must have a child class that extends the abstract class
    4. Must have a child of a child class that extends the abstract class
    The Second Reason is:
    From my understanding of java I want to make abstract classes when I have a problem where the data is similar across all classes that require it, thus saving work, plus it would inherited the methods defined in the abstract class saving more typing. There is also a bit more to this program I have a few "static colleges" that each have extra methods, abstracting the general college template allowed me to simply extend it, and then add additional methods for those "static colleges".
    From what I also understand (although I am very new to java and programming in general) the Interface is just a list of methods that at one point or another must be defined in the class that it interfaces with?
    Your array should be of the interface type and not
    the implementation type most likely.Im sorry, I don't understand what you mean by this, I want the array to be of colleges in which I've defined in the abstract class, but their values are modfied by another method which loads a database with that information in it.
    Here is the code of the Interface class
    interface collegeInterface
         String getCollegeName();
         String getCollegeTypePP(); //Private (p) or Public (u)?
         int getCollegeSize();
         String getCollegeMascot();
         String getCollegeCityType();
         int getCollegeCost();
         String getCollegeLocation();
    You do not need to sort the array to search strings
    for a substring. You don't even need regex for that.
    You can just use String.indexOf(String str) for that.The Variable String in this case, what is it? Is it the Array of colleges? because it is storing more data than just the name of the college?
    Im sorry if I've misunderstood your answer, please bear with me I want to learn :D

  • PARTIAL SEARCH ON A NUMERIC FIELD

    Hi,
    i have one field zzoldwbs which is a numeric field. i want to have a wild card on that field like when a user enter 1* so all the data starting from 1 should be retrieved.the field have a data of 10digits and user can apply wild card on any digit .but i am failing to use wild card as it is very complicated so..how to use wild card on a  numeric field.

    Yes, you mustn't change your original field, but you can define a 10 char help field where you fill in your field content from your numeric field and search on this field! I don't think that your search wil be available in the numeric field, especially when you are looking for a (non-leading) 0 (zero).

  • VAMT LDAP Invalid Pointer error after partial search

    I've been looking and looking for a couple days now and haven't found anything that encompasses all the symptoms I'm having here so here goes nothing.
    Using VAMT 2.0, I'm attempting to search the whole directory for all machine accounts that are not servers, and are enabled. My LDAP URL query has evolved significantly in my testing, but I still cannot seem to get around the error.
    My Progression so far:
    LDAP://corp.domain.com:389/DC=corp,DC=domain,DC=com??sub?(&(objectCategory=computer)(!userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)(!operatingSystem=*server*))
    ADUC: 1775 results
    VAMT: 3 results
    LDAP:///??sub?(&(objectCategory=computer)(!userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)(!operatingSystem=*server*))
    ADUC: 1775 results
    VAMT: 3 results
    ^Expected^
    LDAP:///??sub?(&(objectCategory=computer)(!userAccountControl=4098)(!operatingSystem=*server*))
    ADUC: 1785 results
    VAMT: 6 results
    LDAP:///??sub?(&(objectCategory=computer)(userAccountControl=4096)(!operatingSystem=*server*))
    ADUC: 1752 results
    VAMT: 621 results
    LDAP:///??sub?(&(objectClass=computer)(userAccountControl=4096)(!operatingSystem=*server*))
    ADUC: 1752 results
    VAMT: 621 results
    I think you can see my frustration. I theorize that VAMT is hitting an object that doesn't have any of those items to query and is crashing out, but this is totally a theory.
    My end-goal is to use VAMT from the command line to help us audit our MS software much more accurately than SCCM is and to help us with Volume licensing true-up. Maybe, if I get this working I can setup the scripts to auto resolve some license issues, but
    I'll work on that later. Anyone have an idea on why VAMT might be acting this way?

    Hi,
    Check the following in debug mode .
    I think value of s_from_rec is getting ZERO, check what is the exact reason. The value of  s_from_rec is always should be greater than ZERO.

    Hello All, great forum, I am currently working on a query with a view table that looks like the one above. Where there OrderNumber Is Listed along with the status of the order according to the ItemIds that are in it. I am trying to report each and every orderline of any order that has any orderline that has not been shipped at all or has not been fully shipped at this time.
    the view that the information is being pulled from is called VfourfinalV
    Thanks.

    Do you mean something like this? The two should be equivalent.
    SELECT orderid, shippingstatusdef
    FROM vfourfinalv o
    WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM vfourfinalv i
                  WHERE o.orderid = i.orderid and
                        shippingstatusdef IN ('Not Shipped', 'Partially Shipped'))
    SELECT orderid, shippingstatusdef
    FROM vfourfinalv
    WHERE orderid IN (SELECT orderid FROM vfourfinalv
                      WHERE shippingstatusdef IN ('Not Shipped', 'Partially Shipped'))However, it may be better to go back to the base tables that the view uses and construct a new query from scratch. In most cases, different questions require different queries.

  • Wildcard search in SharePoint 2013.

    Hi ,

    Hi
    I am trying to do a partial search without using wildcard by setting the query text of the search result source to {searchTerm}*. The search works and gives me the right results. However,
    the results look differently.
    When I do search for abcd*, the words that are started with abcd in the Title, Summary and Path parts are highlighted.
    And when I do search for abcd, I have exactly the same search results back. but the words are not highlighted. and besides that, the Summary text is different.
    I believe even if I had the right search result items back, the Title, Summary, and Path properties are created based on the searchEntry. Is there any way to make the items look exactly the same without manipulating with the searchEntry value?
    Thank you,
    Tatiana

  • Search message body returns empty

    I have deleted global-messages-db.sqlite and re-indexed my mail.
    It is an imap account.
    I have "Search subfolders" and "Run search on server" checked.
    I get empty results when searching (Body: Contains: "my search query")
    I am searching for text that I know is in the body of email messages.
    I have even opened up an email, copied the text and pasted it and get no results.
    Thunderbird 24.4.0
    Windows XP

    Yes. it is synchronized.
    Ctrl+Shift+F to open the Search Messages.
    Then for the criteria a I select {Body: Contains: "type in what i'm looking for"}
    I have tried - Search for messages in:
    root of the email account; Inbox; Sent; but I get no returns.
    Again I have the "Search subfolders and Run search on server" checked
    I get results returned when I do a search in the subject line
    {Subject: Contains: "type in what i'm looking for"}
    After trying many message body searches, I have just gotten a partial search return, but it is only emails that are replies with the original email quoted in them. The search does not return all messages containing this text nor the original sent email.

  • Spotlight fails to search at HFS drive in optibay

    Hello
    Recently i noticed that Spotlight behaviour is very strange - it fails to find some files in the folder, while other files from the same folder are found easily. Examples are shown on the pics.
    in first case it fails finding ''Empire of the sun'' folder, while folder ''Metronomy'' is found. In second case it finds folder ''Aquarius heaven ***" while fails to find its parent folder - ''ELECTRONIC''
    Indexing is on, i also reindexed that drive, but it doesn't help.
    need help very much, as all my music is on that drive and i can't find anything(

    I had to re-index after Spotlight completed it's upgrade indexing.
    sudo mdutil -E /
    or drag your HDD into Spotlight privacy pane and then remove. Indexing will start up and a new data store will be created.
    This solved my partial search issues. Unless, of course, you just need to be patient.

  • Wildcard Search in CCW

    Is there a way to do a wildcard search in CCW when querying up a PO#?
    It would be helpful for my customer when querying orders because their PO#'s sometimes include letters at the end of the PO's like "OP" and sometimes they don't.
    For example PO# 4500151514OP maps to SO# 53654560 and comes up in CCW.  But when I try to do a partial search or wildcard search (4500151514 or 4500151514%) in CCW it won't pull up the SO#.
    Please let me know if wildcard searches are possible in CCW or if there was a work-around that could do this.
    Thank you,

    Thank you for suggesting this.
    I tried this solution but am really confused why its not giving any output when I am giving like condition with presentation variable. Whereas if I directly give same value as in presentation
    variable, it returns all matching rows.
    When I saw the SQL generated (by giving presentation variable with like) by OBIEE, it was having "=" instead of "like value%'" whereas by directly giving the value in place of presentation variable, it applies "like 'value%'" only.
    Not sure why its happening, can you also try it once.
    Let me know if anyone has any other suggestion.
    Thanks
    One possible solution :
    - In your prompt set up a presentation variable
    - and in your answer create filter with a like condition, you presentation variable and the % wildcard an the end

  • Autocomplete in Google toolbar not working in FF 4.0. When I select a search term from drop down menu it doesn't load.

    As I said, when I type in a partial search term in the Google toolbar and the drop down list appears, if I click on a completed term, it will not autocomplete it.

    Mouse clicking wouldn't work for me either in the Google drop down box but up/down keys followed by enter do. I hope a quick fix is in order for this.

  • Seriously?  CRM does not display Email in customer list anymore?

    OR is it that I am missing something?
    In CRM go to Customers, and choose all
    Listed is
    Name
    City
    Country
    Customer Type
    Lead Source
    Industry
    Rating
    Now it is possible that some people think all of those items are extremely important and dont care about the email address, but as the email address is the most important item for identification in the BC system - why is it not listed?
    My client has pages oif email addresses without names or the other items, and is not willing to View each one to find the person they want.
    Am I missing something? Is there a way to show a column in Customers that shows the email address?
    As search only works on First Name or Last Name for partial searches (ie enter four characters, and BC shows matches)
    but for Email, only works if the Full email is entered. (update - actually entering email address does not work for searching at all)
    The client is stuck and cant get to the records without heaps of work.

    Well I did say my customer received the auto respond from a campaign, but should have explained it properly.
    Liam if I export them, and delete the ones I want,and then import them, I am guessing that wont actually delete them in the DB, as the import will only be looking for changes.
    So for others that have this problem.
    You could export them
    change the optin staus to "No" in the spreadsheet
    Import them again
    Sort them by clicking on the "Opt-in Status" Column
    then delete them
    Its not elegant and takes time, but it is a solution.
    I only had a few so I got the emails that were sent to the customer, put them in a spreadsheet, and sorted them. Then I sorted the list by clicking in the "Email Address" column, and wnet through the pages and deleted the ones I need to. It also took time.
    I dont understand why there is not a "Search" Function for lists; OR
    a bulk delete.

  • Functions in File

    1) I have tried finding a description in the help using the tooltip text displayed for this ring popup, i.e. Functions in File. No success, neither index nor search. Since many years I am asking for an improved help - until now the 'help' search only succeeds if you hit the exact term...
    2) Functions in File only seems to work for source code files that have been added to the project - if I (temporarily) load a source file into a project the ring is not populated. According to the release notes it should: "LabWindows/CVI creates source code browse information for functions that are declared
    even if they are not called in the project." And even if I misunderstood the release notes: it should... Environment setting On edit / on compile does not make a difference.
    By the way, any hope for a SP?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Wolfgang,
    Sorry about the crappy experience when searching the help. Unfortunately, that's largely out of NI's control since the help viewer is a Microsoft product. Well, not completely outside of NI's control, since NI will eventually switch to some other help format other than .chm, which wouldn't require the use of that viewer. But that's a significant change that affects all NI products, not just CVI, and it's not a simple thing to do in the short term.
    Having said that, although the search has many limitations, it should allow you to do partial searches. For example, if I search for "browsing", it finds topics with "browse".
    In any case, you wouldn't find more information about the "Functions in File" control in the help. Unfortunately, the ADE help is primarily organized by window/section, and the section that that control is a part of (the toolbar) does not have any help associated with it. But I agree with you that, unlike other controls in the toolbar, the behavior of that control isn't completely obvious, and so somewhere else in the table of contents there should probably be some help associated with it.
    That function list does not include functions defined in files that are not in the project. The sentence that you quoted from the release notes ("LabWindows/CVI creates source code browse information for functions that are declared even if they are not called in the project") does not really mean what you think it does. That sentence is referring to a change in behavior between 2012 and 2013: in 2012, if you add just a prototype of a function to your source code, but never define the function, it is not included in the source code browser. In 2013, however, it is included.
    A service pack is expected to be released very soon, sometime in the next few days.
