People have different ideas of how to search for the same term. For example Tri-Valley, Trivalley, Tri Valley (and possibly even incorrect spellings) Currently that search is done like this SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE `SchoolDistrict` LIKE '%tri valley%'; Is there an easy way to say 'space dash or no space' without writing out three...
I have access to a very large code base stored in a subversion repository. I would like to be able to perform Google type searched on the code base. I have done this before when I have access to the server by creating a network share and using Google desktop. I currently do not have access to this subversion server box. Any Ideas? ...

Update Thanks for your answer. I had tried using TopFieldDocCollector but ...
Is there any search engine that fills the gap where the normal search engines returns zero results. Occasionally I need to do a search containing special characters. Like for instance searching for the gnu building configure parameter "--with-newlib". It is not rare for google to completely destroying the specific string och characters ...
I read on here of an exercise in interviews known as validating a binary search tree. How exactly does this work? What would one be looking for in validating a binary search tree? I have written a basic search tree, but never heard of this concept. Thanks ...

Given the tables: role: roleid, name permission: permissionid, name role_permission: roleid, permissionid I have a set of permissions, and I want to see if there is an existing role that has these permissions, or if I need to make a new one.

For example, the following query entered by the user: +"e-mail" +attachment -"word document" -"e-learning" Should translate into something like: SELECT...
The website is almost entirely d/x/html, and is hosted on a linux/apache server. While I'm not opposed to using a database, I've been told that I can implement a solution that parses through the html documents and returns my search results without mucking about too much with asp/php/cgi (which I am most certainly a novice in). Is this ...
I would like to list the matches, when I hit: /example so that I see where all matches are at once. ...
I am mainly curious as to the inner workings of the engine itself. I couldnt find anything about the index format itself (IE in detail as though you were going to build your own compatible implementation) and how it works. I have poked through the code, but its a little large to swallow for what must be described somewhere since there ar...
I think I saw once that it was possible to use the functionality of windows' search feature(s) in code. That it was possible to search for files using a sql query (something like "select filename from filestore where directory = 'c:\somedir' and extention in ('.doc','.txt','.me') and datemodified >= '2009-01-01 00:00:00'" Anyway, even ...
I asked about finding in subdirs with criteria. First answer was use FindFirstFileEx(). It seems the function is no good for this purpose or I'm using it wrong. So can someone explain how I would go about searching in a folder, and all it's subfolders for files that match (to give some sample criteria) .doc;.txt;*.wri; and are newer ...
I'm developing a website with a custom search function and I want to collect statistics on what the users search for. It is not a full text search of the website content, but rather a search for companies with search modes like: by company name by area code by provided services ... How to design the database for storing statistics ...
What is the best way to find out where is notepad.exe and mspaint.exe that will work across various versions of Windows? Should I get the Windows directory via SHGetFolderPath(NULL, CSIDL_WINDOWS, NULL, SHGFP_TYPE_CURRENT, dir), and then traverse through all the subdirectories to look for the two files? (Assume that I am not interested...
Is there a regular expression to find two different words in a sentence? Extra credit for an expression that works in MS Visual Studio 2008 :) For example: reg_ex_match(A, B, "A sentence with A and B") = true reg_ex_match(C, D, "A sentence with A and B") = false See also this related question ...
