Hi all;
I would like to exclude HTML tags in my search criteria at my full-text
search i.e. when I look for for body word I desire the search to return the
body words which included in the body field but I don't want to include
<body>or </body>.
Thank you
This can't be done easily. The best way to fix this is to convert your html
content to text content using a html parser or filtdump -b (there may be
licensing restrictions with this).

|||Thank you so much Hilary , I have found another method to solve the problem
by
replacing the html tags with spaces before query them from the DB (ntext),
Thanks a lot for your assist

|||Hello yaser,
I thought that if you set the doc type to HTML the tags are ignored. We had
this issue with searches for colours finding matches in FONT definitions.
Changing the doc type to HTML solved the problem

|||Hi Simon;
is this able to be done even if I use full-text search on column with data
type ntext or I have to keep this column as binary such as (varbinary(max)),
because I know that we specify the TYPE COLUMN key word in the creation
statement of the fulltext index if we are searching in a binary column only
(and in your solution I have to specify the column type to HTML). By the way
do you mean the same for setting the doc type to HTML do you mean somthing
like this:
CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX ON Production.Document (Document TYPE COLUMN HTML) KEY
INDEX PK_Document_DocumentID ON AWCatalog WITH CHANGE_TRACKING AUTO;
Is this going to ignore html tags in my search?
Thanks a lot for your help and support
|||Hi yaser,
I am interested to know if you came up with a solution to this as I am
trying to do exactly the same thing. I will more than likely be converting
our textual data to binary data and specifying the extension as html.
Another thought that I had though - could a person not use an "HTML" word
breaker as such and then specify the language as HTML. I will look into and
let you know if I found a way of doing this.

|||Sorry to be late in reply;
My final decision was building two columns in the database one with html
tags and the other without html tags so when I perform my search I do it
over the column that doesn't has any html tags, I found this the easiest and
fastest technique.
Hope this will help you
|||Hello yaser,
Yes it will. And yes you do have to store it as a binary type.

|||thanks a lot simon i will try to test it, using this method will give better
performance and less storage.
thanks for your hel and support
|||Hi, you can use Regex in C# like this:
[Code]
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
//..
const string HTML_TAG_PATTERN = "<.*?>";
protected string StripHTML(string strInputString)
{
return Regex.Replace(strInputString, HTML_TAG_PATTERN,
string.Empty);
}
[Code]
