How To Format Search String / How To Write A Simple Search Form For Website
Oct 5, 2010
I am trying to write a simple search form for our site. Here is my delima... I am trying to figure out that if there is nothing to search for in one textbox then search in the next textbox. The problem is that I dont know how to format my search string: For Example:
I want to know how can I build a simple search engine which search from specific websites, for example it should search codeplex and msdn only and show the result on my page?
I don't know if I'm tired today or what it is but I can't figure how to do this search route for the life of me.
For the moment I'm working on the default MVC 2 project so I made a search form on the index site.
[Code]....
the search actionresult got a httpget attribute attached to it. I tried the route like this.
[Code]....
EDIT
sorry if I wasn't clear with my question and problem but its the querystring I'm having problems with i get this Home/Search?query=Name+1 but I want it to be Home/Search/Name+1
We are rewriting a CGI Perl website to .NET and need to have site search capability. In the former site, we use the open source "Perlfect". Does anyone know if there is something similar for .NET or could make any recommendations?
I am trying to implement a search solution for my website and was wondering whether there are other good search solutions I can use apart from adding a Google search box

I'm using this code to create a search bar that will search only on the website above. It works when I put it into a html file, but when I put it in the rightnav user control in the ASP.net application, it only refreshes the page.
I want to display records based on the Prod ID entered by the user in the text box. Where can I find a tutorial to do that?
I can't find a simple one. I am completely new to .NET, and hardly know anything about grid view, SQL connections and stuff.
I need a step-by-step tutorial that explains how to do it. I want to learn about all of this.
Oh, BTW, I did establish an SQL connection and was successful in displaying my table on the web page. I want to learn how to search from that table and display records.
I want to simply search a database for a certain string, how can i accomplish this using linq and EF (if using these tools for it are not practical). I just want to take a string and search my usernames, the search should be able to handle things only parts of the username (using some sort of 'contains' function)
Iphone, Ericsson, LG, HTCDesire are simple products and that is fine. It is the tabid/61/Default.aspx I'd like to get rid of so that urls would look like these instead: [URL]

Is there an easy way to search all the columns in the database?
I was the user to input a search word in a textbox and then search all of my database. I then want an array full of the primary keys of all of the records that had the search word contained somewhere in the record (i.e in any of the record fields).
This sounds really simple to me but I can't figure out how to do this and can't find examples online.
I want a word search i doing the search like this , but it is giving character wherever there is in the string,if i give two character like ok it is searching for a full string where ever Ok is there select * from table1 where textfield like '%word%' this query would match word but also wordabc how can i make it aware of delimitions
As 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)?
I made a usercontrol consisting of an AJAX tab control, a textbox, and a gridview. The gridview is pulling data from a SQL database. When the gridview is outside of the tab control and I begin to enter text into the textbox, quicksearch begins to filter the information in the gridview. When i put the gridview and textbox inside an AJAX tab control quicksearch does not work. How do i need to structure the textbox and the gridview on an ajax update panel to get it to work?
i have some text boxs in a page and in the same page there will be a table 'grid' like for holding the search result.When the user start editing and of the textbox above, the search must start by sending all textboxs values to the server 'ajax', and get back with the results to fill the below grid.
Notes:This grid should support paging, sorting by clicking on headers and it will contains some controls beside the results such as checkboxs for boolean values and links for opening details in another page.
I know many ways to do this some of them are:1- updatepanel around all of these controls and thats it "fast dirty solution"
2- send the search criteria using ajax request using JQuery post function for example and get back the JSON result, and using a template will draw the grid "clean but will take time to finish and will be harder to edit later".
3- ....My question is:What do you think will be the best choice to implement this scenario? because i face this scenario too much, and want to know which implementation will be better regarding performance, optimization, and time to finish.
I have Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 installed on my machine. When I bring up the Find and Replace box in 2008 in any project the 'Look at these file types:' option is blank however in 2005 it keeps defaulting to the file type of RemoveFile. If I don't remember to clear it then it causes my search to fail. Does any one know how do I reset this value or remove this default option so the file type is not set and it looks at every file type when I search for a word.
I 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 wanted to a window to pop up when the user clicks on an image. In the pop window, i want to display a text box to search and a button to submit the search. Also on the same pop up, i want to use a radiobutton list to give the option of choosing to search by first name or last name.on searching, i want to display a list of employee names matching the search and give a radio button next to each of them to select the record. On selection, the user will click an OK button below the records. On clicking OK, the pop up window should close and the employee id of the employee selected should be visible in the text box next to the image.Does anyone have an idea of how to do this, because i am not too sure that i have explained it properly.
