I have the following code that works very well, the problem is that of i search for say rap it returns back results that contain the words telegraph, grapfruit etc, how can i get it to just return results that have the word rap in the search string anywhere?? - <%
-
Dim strSearch, myarray, strSQL, strSQLExtra
-
If Not Request.Form("search") = "" Then
-
session("search") = Request.Form("search")
-
session("choice") = Request.Form("choice")
-
session("queryterm") = session("queryterm")+" "+Request.Form("search")
-
End If
-
-
'Loop is now in a function, so that we can feed it each field name.
-
Function addparams(fieldname,wordArray)
-
Dim tmp
-
tmp = ""
-
For each item in wordArray
-
tmp = tmp & " (" & fieldname & " Like '%" & item & "%') " & session("choice") & " "
-
next
-
tmp = left(tmp, len(tmp)-4) ' Chops off the last "AND "
-
addparams = tmp
-
End Function
-
-
'Build the word array
-
myarray = split(session("search"), " ")
-
-
'Build the SQL
-
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM mp3 INNER JOIN celebs ON mp3.celebid = celebs.idnumber WHERE ("
-
-
strSQL = strSQL & addparams("filename", myarray) ' change field one!
-
-
strSQL = strSQL & ") OR ("
-
-
strSQL = strSQL & addparams("mp3type", myarray) ' change field two!
-
-
strSQL = strSQL & ")order by surname, firstname, filename;"
-
session("sqlset") = strSQL

Hello colinod,
Here is an example that does what your looking to do. -
<%
-
Function WordFinder(FullString, WordToFind)
-
myarray = split(FullString)
-
For each item in myarray
-
If (item = WordToFind) Then
-
WordFinder = "Found!"
-
Exit Function
-
End If
-
next
-
WordFinder = "Not Found."
-
End Function
-
%>
-
<html>
-
<head>
-
<title>Test Page</title>
-
</head>
-
<body>
-
<%
-
If (Request.ServerVariables("REQUEST_METHOD") = "POST") Then
-
Response.Write("Looking for [" & Request.Form("xFind") & "]<br />")
-
Response.Write("In [" & Request.Form("xString") & "]<br />")
-
Response.Write(WordFinder(Request.Form("xString"), Request.Form("xFind")))
-
End If
-
%>
-
-
<form method="POST" name="xForm" action="Index.asp">
-
String: <input type="text" name="xString"><br />
-
Find this: <input type="text" name="xFind"><br />
-
<input type="Submit" name="xSubmit" value="Find">
-
</form>
-
</body>
-
</html>

Hope it helps,

in the first box type in "Hello how are you today Michelle" and the second box type in "to". There should be no matches.
then for the second test:
in the first box type in "Hello how are you today Michelle" and the second box type in "today". There should be a match now.
Hope that that helped you out,
CroCrew~
Hi thanks for that but i am trying to do this with sql in an asp page, am i in the wrong place for this question?
Hello Colinod,
I think you'd have to search for '% rap %' and include the spaces in the search. Like this: -
SELECT * FROM [table] WHERE (([field] LIKE '% rap %') OR ([field] LIKE '% rap%') OR ([field] LIKE '%rap %'))
-
Hope that helps,
CroCrew~
