Is CP's search too strict?
-
I'm looking for articles and message posts using the following keywords: "Dialog box resource in a dll" and the result I get is: No results found (Execution of a full-text operation failed. A clause of the query contained only ignored words. ) So, is every word I entered considered an ignored word? Dialog, resource, and dll are all ignored words!?!? How else can one search for these things without typing them in as keywords? What am I missing here? :confused:

The fulltext search for SQL-Server 2000 does have a long list of words it's ignoring when building full-text search indexes. It comes with that list as standard, and most of is very commond words like "a" and "to" anf stuff like that. I must say it surprices me a bit that resource and dll is in that list... But that's the reason. The list can be modified though, as it's just a plaintext list of words... - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"

It's the search from SQL Server 2000. It gives the same error message if any of the words are in the ignored list. The last time I used it, I had to write a query filter that went in front of it. First, I adjusted the ignored word list, removing words that shouldn't be ignored. Then, I wrote a filter that removed the ignored words from the query. On top of that there are multiple different options for query type. I ended up trying each type of query starting with boolean, then all words, and any words, returning the first type that resulted in records found. That seemed to produce the best matches.

Yes, I think you're right about the quotes ;), but I didn't use them in the actual search. :cool:

Yeah, it isn't the greatest, built on MS search tech which is quite appalling (anyone ever found a site that uses SQL Full Text and produces good results? No, me neither). Use Google to search CP, it works well. e.g.
