A way to do a small search engine for company website?

I am developing a website for a small to mid-size company. In the main page, there is going to have a search form. Anyone can trype in sth, server will search all the information in the server, then show any related information.
What is the best way to do it?
I am thinking useing:
1. javaApplet(java) + MS access
2. servlet + MS Access
are these methods ok? Any code or example for reference?
Thanks in advance!

A few questions for you, should you decide to continue along your own implementation path.
You mentioned using MS Access and Java. Does this mean you have free access to the server you are implementing this on? Most of the code required for Java on the web requires a less industry standard solution than that provided by typical hosting companies.
Just on a side note, if you are running your own box, I would suggest using something besides MS Access. In my experience, the driver support for access leaves something to be desired, although my experiments with it have grown a bit dusty.

Not Able to put LOV in search form fields

Hi
I created the search form using Bindvariables.In my application i am using only JSF,ADF BC,trindad components(In Mobile apps,we have to use only trinidad comp's).
I want search fields as LOv's .
In AppModule,under view,ExecuteWithParams i have bindvariables.while dragging them i selected the selectonechoice ,in Edit List Binding Window,for base datasource i am giving one VO,and for list Data Source i am giving different VO .
everithing is fine.but when i click 'ok' Button,it is giving th efollowing error.
The selected target attribute has read-only access.please select an updateable attribute
what is the Wrong i am doing?
PLease anyone help me in figuring out my problem?
I want to make the search fields as LOV in search form.so that user no need to enter the data in to them.simply can select the value from LOVand find out the results .
Sailaja.

what actulay is the problem.. i triied it , this is working fine.
I guess just in the lov you have made make both the fields updatable

Looking for help to develop data search form

I have built a SQL Query that produces a data set of
approximately 60,000 records which includes last_names,
First_names, ID_numbers, Office_Names, Association_Names, and
Member_Type fields. I have created a table that displays ten
records at a time (in alphabetical order by last, first name). I
want to (1) be able to search for a specific person in the dataset,
and then once I find him/her, (2) be able to click on their
ID_Number to select it and then go to another page with their
ID_Number.
I have not been able to find documentation on conducting
searches of datasets. I am using classic ASP for server side
scripting (though I am brand new at this).
Any assistance you might be able to provide will be most
gratefully appreciated.
Thanks very much,
Austin

The search form posts its results to the processor page. The
processor page
retrieves those form values from the $_POST array, and uses
them to
formulate a new SQL SELECT statement, identical to the old
one, except with
the inclusion of the first and last name values from the
$_POST array in the
WHERE statement.

How to get the SQL Query statement of a Search Form ?

Hi all,
We have a requirement to send the query result of an ADF Search Form into report application (Crystal rpt).
Crystal can accept data source as query statement. SO I think of getting the exact query statement "generated" by the ADF Search form and send it to crystal.
Is this possible ?
Thank you very much,
xtanto

Try the various get methods of the viewObject such as getQuery:

How to use Multiple Keywords in a Search Form?

I'm currently using a bind variable on the view object to generate a search form where the user enters one keyword that is applied to the WHERE cause of the SQL query.
The problem is I'm trying to implement a Google-type search, where the user can enter multiple keywords in a single text input area. I then want to parse out those keywords and search the database on each keyword (similar to a Google search.) Can someone please help me point me in the right direction as to where / how to code in the appropriate hooks to accomplish this?
Example:
(user input) Enter Search Keywords: keyword1 keyword2 keyword3.. keywordn
database query:
Select item from table where (desc like '%keyword1%') or .. (desc like '%keywordn%') or
(category like '%keyword1%') or .. (category like '%keywordn%')

Can't you parse what was entered and create a number of view criteria rows, then apply them? At that point, they would be 'OR'd together'.

Creating a search form based on a table.

Hello,
I'm currently trying to create a search form which performs a searchquery in values stored in a table in my database.
The table is filled peoples names,lastnames ,telephonenumbers and departments.
I can use the sample application to make a form based on the tableview but this returns a search textfield for every column in the table. I just want 1 searchfield/textfield to search on ALL columns at the same time and display the other fields as labels when returning the queryresults.
I tried searching the forums for an explanation on how to build said form and I checked Metalink but I have yet to find one. Anyone out there willing to help me out?
thanks in advance,
Melvin K.

Why not use an instr with your data in a bind variable in your where clause for the select?? Page 1 sets an item called P2_Parameter with your value string slightly modified ('12345','345632','645534534','3434344')
Select a,b,c,d,e from some_table where INSTR(TO_CHAR(Lookup_column,'099999999'),:P2_Parameter)
Maybe that will work? Its off the top of my head, but should get you what you want.. (But to agree with one of the other posters, it is a BAD Design..) I would try like an interactive report to allow them to enter in acct #'s or whatever these are and let them access the rows that way..
Thank you,

How to create a search form? - Jdev TP4 11.1.1.0.0

Hi,
I am using Jdev TP4 11.1.1.0.0.
I have a af:table which is based on a view. I want to have a search form on top of this af:table to query based on the selection in the search form. I have 15 columns in the view. When I drag and drop the "All queriable attributes" from the named criteria I get all these columns in the search form. I need only 3 of the columns in the search form and the af:table should query based on the selection. How can I achieve this? Any help. Thanks in advance.

You can create a new named query with only these three columns in the where clause and use that.
Or you can drag the VO as a search form and remove the columns you don't need.

SelectInputDate component in a search form - JDev 10.1.3.0.4

Cheers to all of you buddies in this valley of tears, have a good day
I have a table that contains a date column, and a search form to do "query by example" and its date field is a "selectInputDate" with its date chooser.
The date column in the table is formatted as yyyy-MM-dd (assigned in the underlying BO).
I assigned a "convertDateTime" with a pattern yyyy-MM-dd to the selectInputDate component.
At this point, the page works correctly. I select a date and get the appropiate results.
The problem rised when adding a validator to the "selectInputDate" component.
I added a "validateDatatimeRange" validator and binded the Maximum and Minimum values to two java.util.Date fields (minDate and maxDate) defined in a session managed bean named depSessionBean. The binding was done using EL as #{depSessionBean.minDate} and #{depSessionBean.maxDate}. The effect is that the date chooser only enables dates within the range (good).
The problem arises when I click on the "Execute" action button. All I get is a lovely error complaining about date conversions.
The attached converter returns a String that is correctly used to query the data but the validator expects a java.util.Date (it does not accept String values).
So, am I missing something? How can I get the converter and validator to work together?
Thanks a heap for any help.

Frank,
Thanks for your reply and yes I'm using BC (I allways forget that important piece of information).
Unfortunatelly I still have a few doubts:
- I suppose that assigning a pattern to a date column in a BO is for display purposes and in some cases to have the right conversions in where clauses. In this case, choosing yyyy-MM-dd (that is the default) is a coincidence and in this case, you are right it is superfluous. But suppose we use dd/MM/yyyy. In this case, the date will be rendered with this new pattern. Even more, I suppose that in a query by example, when building the where clause, JDev expects the given date to be a string with that same pattern (dd/MM/yyyy). So, we have the first conclusion: The selected date must be a String with the given pattern. That is why I assigned a converter to the selectInputDate component.
I did some tests and concluded: The patterns in the BO and in the converter assigned to the selectInputDate component must match or the query won't work.
The second step is to narrow the date range. The way I found to do it is by assigning a datetime validator to the selectInputDate component. This validator expects java.util.Date values for its min and max dates, and the date chooser works well (by enabling only dates between the given range).
The problem rises when you submit the form. At validation time you have: a date expressed as a formatted String (needed for the query) and a validator expecting a java.util.Date to perform the validation. So, you get a casting error.
All this is what I understood and concluded about the situation and, of course I could be completelly wrong.
If my steps for configuring the search parameters are correct, there must be a way to do the String - Date casting and avoid the error.
If my approach is wrong then there must be a correct approach for this kind of situation.
Thanks a lot for your help,
A. Gurisatti

How To create ADF Search form in JDeveloper 11g 11.1.1.0.1

Hi,
I am using JDeveloper 11g 11.1.1.0.1 , in which i tried creating an ADF search form that has Find and Execute Buttons.
I created the same ADF search form using JDeveloper 11g TP3 and TP4 wherein it works fine but not in JDeveloper 11g 11.1.1.0.1.
Scenario....
I dragged a read only view object on to the jspx page as ADF Search Form and dragged the same as Read only table.
After doing this if i run the application the search functionality does not happen .
( I click on the find button and enter the condition and then click on the execute button. records does not get filtered based on that condition specified.)
But when the same steps is done in 11g TP3 and TP4 the search functionalty works fine.
Can someone suggest me what is the issue.
Is this a bug in the new release.
regards
vinitha

List Of Value in search forms

Hello,
I am using ADF 11g
I am trying to prepare a custom search form (not af:query component). I dragged and dropped a view object in data control to create a select one choice component. It is working good.
But i am not able to have the LOV to have an empty item in the beginning.
I already tried to edit the View definition, and selected "Include no selection item" in List UI Hints section, but in the page, select one choice still does not have an empty item in the beginning.
What is missing here or what am i doing wrong ?
Thanks

List of values in 11 does not work as in 10.
They need to be binded in model in specific view attribute.
You can create a transient view object (i.e. select null as list_attr from dual)
then you need to add to the attribute the list of value,
then drag and drop ListAttr to the page

How can I show Search Form parameter values in URI of Results page?

I have searched through these pages for posts relating to caching but haven't seen any that relate to my issue.
We run a website that accesses data through search forms and returns matching data to the requester in a results page. The search criteria are entered in a form and the results page is generated by a servlet that gets the search parameter values that the user entered using the GET method.
I would like rewrite this Search page using JDeveloper to bring our old code up to date and take advantage of new features that should help performance. In particular, I want to utilise the WebCache.
To use the WebCache effectively, the cache needs to know what the search criteria were when it delivers a page so that repeated requests using the same criteria can be served directly from the cache.
The data retrieved by a query may change from one search to to the next so I can't use time-based caching. But, I can use the WebCache Invalidation interface from the back-end DB server to flush old data out of the WebCache when it is changed, but to flush out the correct pages I need to know the parameter values passed.
If I just follow the demos, it seems like the search parameters are all hidden in beans or something which means that the Web Cache can't be used for what I want. The parameter values are important.
So my question is: is there a way of showing the search parameters used in the URI to the Results page? Can the old GET method of parameter passing be used (or can I somehow just put the old style parameters onto the URI?)
Alternatively, is there a simple How To or Demo on how to use the Web Caching facility with JSF?
(ADF Caching and Java Object caching do not seem appropriate for my needs. ADF caching seems to be limited to having fragments cached for fixed periods of time and Java Object caching is orders of magnitude slower and involves the Application Server.)
Thanks for any advice,
Andy

Sorry - should have said I'm using JDev 10.1.3.0.4 with JSF & ADF BC.

Problems with custom search form in adf

Hi,
I am using JDeveloper 11.1.2.4. please can you help with this issue?
I've created a custom search form with the help from this link.
Jdeveloper,Oracle ADF &amp; Java: Implementing custom search form in ADF programmatically (Without using af:query)
I've created two bind variables SkuBind & ImperfectBind and a View Criteria.
My problem is when I press Search button, it does not filter based on values of the bind variables in the View Criteria.
I rightly get bind variable values in the System output though
Skubind = 1000
Imperfectbind = N
but there is no where clause
where clause = null
public void SearchOddShoes(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
AppModuleImpl am = (AppModuleImpl)resolvElDC("AppModuleDataControl");
ViewObject oddShoeVo = am.getRtnOddShoesVO1();
oddShoeVo.setNamedWhereClauseParam("SkuBind", skuPgBind.getValue());
oddShoeVo.setNamedWhereClauseParam("ImperfectBind", imperfectPgBind.getValue());
System.out.print("Named Skubind = " + oddShoeVo.getNamedWhereClauseParam("SkuBind") +"\n");
System.out.print("Named Imperfectbind = " + oddShoeVo.getNamedWhereClauseParam("ImperfectBind") +"\n");
System.out.print("where clause = " + oddShoeVo.getWhereClause()+"\n");
System.out.print("where clause params= " + oddShoeVo.getWhereClauseParams()+"\n");
System.out.print("Sql is " + oddShoeVo.getQuery()+"\n");
oddShoeVo.executeQuery();
public Object resolvElDC(String data) {
           FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
           Application app = fc.getApplication();
           ExpressionFactory elFactory = app.getExpressionFactory();
           ELContext elContext = fc.getELContext();
           ValueExpression valueExp =
                   elFactory.createValueExpression(elContext, "#{data." + data + ".dataProvider}", Object.class);
           return valueExp.getValue(elContext);
thanks

Not clear what part of the code doesn't work. Assuming that you did check that the code you wrote executed
the problem may be the following.
You need to add partial trigger on the destination component.
Add ...
oddShoeVo.executeQuery();
AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(HERE_THE_BIND_NAME_OF_YOUR_TABLE);
Also I don't see that you acctually use View Criteria. There are specific way to apply View Criteria programatically and I don't see that you use it.
The simpliest way is just to change the VO query to embed bind variables into the query
E.G.
select 1
from dual
where some_column= :P_PARAM1

How to implement autocomplete in a search form?

Hi all,
I´m trying to implement the autocomplete in a search form but I think I'm missing something in content server...
Is there a simple away to do it in content server?
With PHP it doesn´t work in content server, right?
Where can I find a good tutorial about that?
Thank you in advance,
