Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Parsing free-form text for InterMedia indexing
Hi all,
I've been struggling with trying to provide our users with a quick text search. InterMedia's doing OK, but I'm having trouble setting it up because the text I'm searching is free-form data entered by several users over the span of years. In other words, it's a word-jumble.
For example, one indexed string might contain "25 PIN", while another contains "25PIN", but I need to make sure that both come up in a query without needing the user to know to enter for multiple scenarios. How can that be indexed in IM? I think I want to have digits as separators, but not in words that are only digits, e.g. I don't want "123456" to be indexed as "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6".
I'm also having other problems with volumninous printjoins, but I'll tackle one problem at a time. :)
Thx!
