Is there any good search tools for asp.net I can buy to carry out search indexes easily on data I have in my database?What I require is something that would carry out a general site search of articles but also faceted search as well. Faceted search is quite important feature.
View 2 RepliesI have a database filled with information about a bunch of different articles. I'm trying to add a search mechanisim to the site where you would type in what you are looking for, and it would search through the articles finding the most appropriate article. In my database I have a bunch of different fields that will help find the best article. For example, for each article, there is a title, description, category, a bunch of tags, Number of page views, number of votes, and the sum of all the vote scores. All this informaiton i believe can be used to gather the most relevent article based on the persons search terms. The problem is I don't know what to do with this information. What I would like to do is have a scoring system where the highest score is the first result and the lowest score is the last result. Where the first result is the most relevent.
So for example: The user types in "Korean War" it looks through all the articles, and gives all the articles with "Korean War" in the title + 1, all the tags with "Korean" or "War" + .1, then adds the number of views/1000, and then adds the average vote/4. (I just made that scoring system up on the spot, I would need to do some testing of course). Then it would sort the articles based upon the score it recieved. Is there anyway to do this with a select statement where I can run all of the calculations and then sort them with an "ORDER BY" command? Or would i have to have the server side code do the calculations store them in an array, and then sort them in the array? Or is there a better way of doing this that I might not know of (which is certainly possible).
I would like to have a search functionality in my site to search within my site. is it possible to have our own search engine.
View 2 RepliesDoes Bing has an option similar to Google Custom Search or Yahoo where I can use Bing to power the search results on my site?
Couple requirements:
Works with an ASP.NET site (is a .NET project) Host the search box and results on my own website Ability to customize the look and feel of the results to match my site (Full control is ideal but I understand it's not possible with free solutions)
I did a search for Bing custom search and found this: [URL] but it's not exactly what I am looking for.
Developing a web site in .Net 4. Very close to being complete with most functionality, so I thought I would attack what seemed to be a tough one (something I have not done): site content search.
I've been digging around for an hour or so, and I'm a little perplexed. How do I perform content search on an ASP.net website?
A few things I'll throw out there before you answer with something I've already seen and cannot implement:
I am developing on a Win7x64 computer using VS2010 w/TFS.Site has been converted to .net 4, and is in C#.Will not have access to put site on Windows Server 2008 for another month, but would really like to implement search if at all possible beforehand.All that said, can I implement searching via indexing? I've looked at using Windows Search, but nothing looked like it worked right. This site will be served up on a Windows Web Server 2008. Do I need to somehow develop against a Server 2008 to implement search via indexing?
Anybody seen any c# code examples for using Google site search to send a request to the Google search api and return the results in xml?

View 8 RepliesI am trying to implement search in our various ASP.NET websites that are all located on a particular web server that we control. The server is running IIS7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 32bit. I do NOT want to go third-party by using Google/Bing/etc APIs. I want to have an in-house solution for JUST our website directories (and not worry about searching through other documents elsewhere).
I have looked at Search Server 2010 Express, but that won't work because it is 1) 64bit, and 2) too much overhead for the tiny bit of websites we are wanting to search on. There is a 2008 Express edition that is x86 compatible, but I still think its way too much to install and run for what we are wanting to use it for.
I saw on the google when search "code project", some keywords and a text field and a button to search that google has generated for "code project" keyword also for "manchester university" in the same way.
How is it possible to show key words and text field/button for our website on google? As it shows for "code project" and "manchester university" etc.
visit google and search "manchester university" u'll see:
StudentNet Job Opportunities
PostGraduate StaffNet
etc..
and
textfield/ and a button

View 1 RepliesIs there anyway you can get search results powered by bing, without using bing box as it just launches results in a javascript applet, I mean fully hosted on site like on here or microsoft's site? I understand a full sitemap will be needed although that easy enough using webmaster tools. I think that all the detail I need to provide, as I dont want too use Google custom search as I have to display ads and crap via adsense.
View 2 RepliesI'm using a cookie to keep track of the language.
The url stays the same for the french, english, polish, spanish, italian versions of the site since the content is located in seperate .resx files. and the code stays the same for all.
I need search engines to see all versions of my site.
And I need to stay on the same domain for all languages. No subdomains.
Trying to figure out how to handle data returned for a site search from a description field. I don't think I want to display all the text from the description field, but I also don't want to "chop" a word in half. How do I get the first 100 characters, plus a few extra letters if needed to prevent a word from being chopped in half. In some cases, the description field is less than 100 characters, so all the text will be displayed. However, if the description does need to be chopped at 100, I'd like to finish the word and add ... to indicate that there is more text.

View 11 Replies I have a ASP.net 4.0 which has to generate a PDF and docx file with the same content. Ofcourse the conversion will take place on server so Office Automation is not an option
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q257757#kb2)
Im faced with the following descision: Use OpenXML SDK to create the docx and some other free tool to create the PDF.OR ,Buy a SW like Aspose so I only will have to create the docx and then generate a PDF from the docx.
What is your opinion about this? Aspose Word costs $900, will I save as much time with it to be worth it?If I choose the free option will I have a hard time getting the docx and pdf to look exactly the same?

As per the increasing security threats, my site needs extreme care in terms of security in all aspects. I know asp.net has built in some security measures (Anti-forgery token, cross-site scripting, authentication, roles), but that is just not enough.I need a tool to test all possible security threats (Brute-force attacks, .... IP location, browser info ... )and a framework (open source is better) that handles all these concerns and let you build upon.
EDIT,So to narrow a bit, my primary concern is protecting the "login" page from all possible threats.

View 1 RepliesAs a newbie coming from a Java background with tag libraries I wonder if there is a simple possibility to render areas depending on backend values.For example if I have search form I do not want to render the table for the search results as long as the user hasn't pressed the search button. Of course I can iterate over the model containing an empty list but this does not allow to suppress rendering the whole table.Using web forms I would just control the visibility of the affected tag(s) in the code behind file but how do I do this with ASP.NET MVC?Can I use a partital view for a case like this? But I think I would have the same problem. How can I determine if a partial view is rendered (e.g. the whole result table with header)?
