Text search with long "artificial" word

Dear All,
I have created one table which contains a clob column. The column have a content like 'atgctctgc.....atgc' (around 10M per row) as one big "word". I'd like to find the rows which contains the pattern 'atgctggcctttcact' (around 20~30 characters) in clob column. I used dbms_lob.instr and it does the work but still not fast enough. I don't know if it's possible to use the ctxsys.context index to solve the problem.
BTW, i have tried the default setting and it doesn't work. I use the following syntax:
select * from t where contains(l_clob, 'atgccacagaagaga') >0
It throws me "no data found" which i can find hits using dbms_lob.inst.
I am confused how i can solve the problem.
Regards,
lik

Hi,
I think this is a biological data sequence, am I correct? I think better to search patterns is to have a look at Regular_expressions or BLAST. Here is a presentation about both techniques: [url http://www.oracle.com/technology/industries/life_sciences/presentations/lsday903_6_2_Myriad_Sequence.ppt]Biological data search. Another one is this: [url http://www.oracle.com/technology/industries/life_sciences/pdf/twp_ls_blast_10gr1_0904.pdf]Sequence Matching and Alignment in Oracle
If you want to go on with text, you must use wildcards to find it:
select * from t where contains(l_clob, '%atgccacagaagaga%') >0 The problem is that this is not the best kind of search for a text index (both sides a wildcard). This can be sped up, but I don't think it will help you because that's intended for shorter terms/words.
Hope that the above can help you

SQL Server Free Text Search with multiple search words inside a stored procedure

I am trying to do a free text search. basically the search string is being sent to a stored procedure where it executes the free text search and returns the result.
If I search for red
flag, I want to return the results that matches both red and flag text.
Below is the query I use to return the results.
select * from customer where FREETEXT (*, '"RED" and "flag"')
This doesn't give me the desired result. Instead this one give the desired result.
select * from customer where FREETEXT (*, 'RED') AND FREETEXT (, 'FLAG')
My problem is since it's inside a stored procedure, I will not be able to create the second query where clause. I thought both query should return the same result. Am I doing something wrong here?

I am moving it to Search.

How can I find a text box with a specific word in it ?

Hi,
I have hundreds of settlement names on a map created with the text tool. How can I search on the name of one of them and find it on my map ?
I am with FH9 but the method would no doubt be backwards compatible from MX. If it isnt I would launch MX just for this exercise.
Would this also work if the word was part of a text box text ?
I have the luxury of it being the entire text box !
Cheers
Envirographics

If you have one large text box to search for the word, select it, then go to EDIT>FIND & REPLACE>TEXT...
Type in your word and click FIND NEXT button. If you have multiple occurances of the name, keep clicking the FIND NEXT button until the word hilites.
If you have scattered text boxes on your map, don't select any of them but still go through the EDIT>FIND & REPLACE>TEXT... routine I mentioned. FreeHand will look through all text boxes to find your word.
Oh yeah, this works the same in FreeHand 8 thru FHMX.

Full text search with XML input in Oracle

Hi,
I need to develope a web application which can do full text search for a library. We will use XML as the input data format and stored XML file in Oracle. How can I do full text search to the XML according todifferent tags or elements. e.g search from title or from article.
Do not only convert XML to Ascii and do the full text search. It should utilize the XML tag and structure.

Update Results not Displayed in Oracle Text search with Transactional Index

Hi,
I am working on a solution utilising Oracle Text to give me a probable list of matching records. The problem I have the table I am searching on is prepopulated with seed data and the application we are building is assigning a record and updating the details(columns) against it. This detail is what we are searching on using an Multi Column Datastore index which is refreshed every hr and also has the transactional parameter specified. Unfortunately the Transactional Index does not pick up the updated details, it only seems to work if I insert a new record (which will never happen). This to me sounds like a bug. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Barbara,
I think you may have eluded to my problem. I haven't updated the "dummy" column
The table structure is as follows:
CREATE TABLE WAGN (
     WAGN               VARCHAR2(8) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
     last_name          VARCHAR2(240),
     first_name          VARCHAR2(240),
     middle_name          VARCHAR2(240),
     date_of_birth     DATE,
     gender               VARCHAR2(1),
     status               VARCHAR2(1) NOT NULL,
     signature          RAW(64));
The preference creation is:
BEGIN
     ctx_ddl.create_preference('WAGN_NAME_SRCH', 'MULTI_COLUMN_DATASTORE');
     ctx_ddl.set_attribute('WAGN_NAME_SRCH', 'columns', 'last_name, first_name, middle_name, date_of_birth, gender');
END;
The Index Creation statement is:
CREATE INDEX wagn_srch_idx1 ON WAGN(signature) --Dummy Column
INDEXTYPE IS ctxsys.CONTEXT
PARAMETERS ('DATASTORE WAGN_NAME_SRCH SYNC(EVERY "SYSDATE+60/24/60" PARALLEL 10) TRANSACTIONAL');
And a typical update statement is (contained with PL/SQL):
     UPDATE WAGN
          SET status = x_wagn_assigned_status,
               last_name = p_employee_details.last_name,
               first_name = p_employee_details.first_name,
               middle_name = p_employee_details.middle_name,
               date_of_birth = p_employee_details.date_of_birth,
               gender = p_employee_details.gender
          WHERE WAGN = l_wagn;
So my guess is that because the dummy column (signature) is not updated it is not being reflected in the transactional memory area.

Text Search Limit to Whole Word

I'm trying to search my catalog for all photos with the word "Fall" as a keyword. In addition to photos with "Fall", LR also gives me "Silver Falls", "Falls" - any word that has "fall" as part of the name.
I've gotten around this by adding an "!" before each word I want to exclude, but obviously this requires a lot more time to exclude every word that includes the word that you want.
Is there a way of telling LR that the word you type in is the EXACT word you want? Just as you can add "!" before words you do not want.
Thanks,
Greg

Try
+Fall+ (finds all photos containing the exact word 'fall')
+Fall (all photos starting with 'fall')
Fall+ (all photos ending with 'fall')

How to print a text file with long lines?

I am trying to print a text file which contains many long lines. I find that the long lines are truncated on the printouts. How do I wrap up these long lines? Could you give me some examples?

Original application file Text search

Hi DMS Gurus,
we Have a common requirement of finding the DIR by using the word or sentence present inside the Original application file.
can any one please let me know the complete requirement for this, is this feature inbuilt in standard DMS system using Content Server.
I have did the basic configuration in transaction code SKPR07).
Enter the document class : DMS_PCD1.
Select: Edit / Administration.
A dialog box appears where the following data is preset,
Document Area : DMS
Administration table: DMS1DIDSTA
Class can be indexed: X
Set the indicator: Setup indexing.
and MIME text type is already present for Word, Excel, Pdf, PPT file type in Standard.
the Text search with original window appeared in CV04N but entering any text inside the Original it is unable to find the original.
is there any other setting i have to make please let me know.
Does this necessiates really installation of
1) A new Trex server for this process.
2) can this Trex server be installed inside Content server
points Awaiting .
Thanks in Advance

Hi DMS Gurus and SAPIENS,
Welcome to New Year 2009, Wish you all and your family a Very Happy Prosperous, Peacefull, and sucessfull New Year 2009.
Like we all know any Word document in a PC or System can also be searched by giving the known Words in the file as the search criteria.
why there is any 3rd Party software required to avail this feature, that too in DMS which mainly deals with external Documents.
will be more happy if this can be achived with SAP-DMS standard funtionality or configuration.
if Like the TREX server has to be Integrated with DMS Server as a stand alone server?
will this be Completely Taken care by Basis or Functional involvement is required.
Please Clarify.

Implementing Multilingual Full Text Search

Hi All,
I am working on an application which requires to implement Full Text Search on Documents Uploaded in Binary Format. When I tested it first time with English Language, the search worked. But now the application demands to implement multilingual search on
that column. The document can be in Norwegian, Swedish, Danish or English language and then converted into binary.
When we create index for Full Text, we have to specify one language for that index. We also can't multiple indexes nor we can create multi-language indexes in same column.
Please help me out on how this requirement can be possibly met.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks and Regards, ErKakkar

Dear NAG
For text search you have activate TREX Server
follow the steps
Set TREX
A:- Transaction: SRMO
Install TREX , and create RFC destination to connect to
TREX.
B:- Transaction: SKPR06
Check the flag to Document Area "DMS" to utilize this document area for
document search.
For Indexing
A: Transaction: SE38
Run the report program "RSTIRIDX_REINDEX" to create Index.
Also, run the report program "RSTIRIDX" to create Index.
Set mime type for the text search
A: SPRO --
Cross-Application Components > Document Management System > General
Data > Settings for Storage Systems > Create MIME types for full
text search,
Enter MIME type like
"application/msword",
"application/pdf".
Retrive document via Test Search
A: Then, test retrieval document search using
Transaction: SKPR07.
Enter Document Class "DMS_PCD1", Language "EN", Document Class "DMS",
and try "TEST search".

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.
kkprasad

One 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.

Text search returns results with some keywords, but not others

This pertains to a tours website for Turkey. I've sucessfully
set up a search form, and results page which returns results when
multiple keywords are entered. Everything is working well, except
when certain keywords are used. For example, the table column being
searched for is called long_itinerary, so if anyone is interested
in a certain site or city, it's bound to be in the long itinerary
somewhere.
Here's the problem, by example: When someone searches with
the keywords Antalya, Konya, Ankara, or Adana, for example, results
are returned from the database, and those keywords are in each
returned tour's long itinerary.
But certain keywords return nothing, even when they're in
practically all of the tours, in the long_itinerary column. For
example, Istanbul, Ephesus, and Izmir, Kusadasi and Pergamum return
no results, even though they're there. I've gone through all of the
most likely keywords, and these are the offenders. If, for example,
I search with "Istanbul Ankara," I get results with tours including
Ankara (and Istanbul, but only because the word "Ankara" is in the
itinerary).
First I made sure the Charset values were the same on the
search form page and the results page. Still had the problem. Next,
I went into the database itself, and copied the word "Istanbul"
directly from the long_itinerary column of the database, and pasted
it into the search function's text field, and searched again. Same
problem--no results returned.
I can't see any difference between the keywords which work
correctly, and those which don't, what baffles me is that even when
I copy a keyword directly from the database and paste it in the
search text field, it returns no results!
Well, I'm baffled! Any ideas what might cause this?

Hmm -- one of my customers is a turkish building company
(Kusadasi BTW), and when *they* add some contents to the DB,
they´ll be entering turkish chars. It´s in particular the
turkish "I" which is pretty different, and this is when a search
for keywords containing a western "I" will fail.
Could that be the problem in your case ?

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.

How can I search for partial matching words in various columns without needing to provide search text?

I have a list of names in three columns - B2:B425, D2:406, & E2:30 where they were input by different people, so the names are worded differently. For example, I can have the name "Handler, Jones, & Wright" and someone else has the name
listed as "Handler Corp." What I need is to find a formula or VBA macro code that can search through my list and notice the possible duplicates and highlight them. Since they are all different names, I cannot give it a unique "text" to
search.
I found a code posted in this forum from some time ago (for two columns) but it highlighted all these names that had no partial words in common. Perhaps you can look over the code below and modify it for me or provide me with another one? Please let me know
if you need any further information to guide me.

Dim sTemp As String, sTempWords() As String, sTempDWords() As String
Dim re As Object, mc As Object

Dim sFirstAddress As String
Set rg1 = Range("B2", Cells(Rows.Columns.Count, "B").End(xlUp))
Set rg2 = Range("D2", Cells(Rows.Columns.Count, "D").End(xlUp))
Set re = CreateObject("vbscript.regexp")
