You're in the
sql server full text search
group:Scaling Rank
sql server full text search:
i m using full text search .. but the problem is i want to present the result with very few results with the rank ... the rank as generated by the sql full text is only usefull when compared with the other ranks .. i want to scale it from 1 to 100.. any ideas on how to do this ...
Nargis,
I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to achieve. Could you provide a more specific example? If you had a FTS query that returns 100 rows, would you want the rank for each row to be 1 - 100? If not, how would you group the ranking results on a per query basis? You should also review the paragraph in the SQL Server 2000 BOL title "Full-Text Search Recommendations" that starts with "What is RANK and how is it determined when used with CONTAINSTABLE and FREETEXTTABLE predicates? " More detailed info is always helpful in understanding your question/request so we can better answer your question/request.

I'd try something like this:
declare @max int select @max= max(rank) from text join containstable(texttable, textcol,'Microsoft',1) as search on search.[key]=text.pk select (rank*100/@max) from text join containstable(texttable, textcol,'Microsoft',100) as search on search.[key]=text.pk order by rank desc This will involve two hits on your SQL FTS catalog. -- Hilary Cotter Looking for a SQL Server replication book? http://www.nwsu.com/0974973602.html [quoted text, click to view] "Nargis" <Nargis @discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:66964FEE-14CD-4E90-9BAC-75AB90B76527@microsoft.com... > Hello, > i m using full text search .. but the problem is i want to present the > result with very few results with the rank ... the rank as generated by the > sql full text is only usefull when compared with the other ranks .. i want to > scale it from 1 to 100.. any ideas on how to do this ... >

Wat i basically want is that the if my query returns 100 records all should be ranked from 1- 100 , i want to make sure that rank would always be 1-100.. and at the same time i want to be able to rank the results of differnt queries ....so max thing will not work with me if the max rank for one query is 40 and if a record has a rank = 39 and another query returns max rank 144 and one record has rank 60 if i use max method .. it rank for 39 would be greater than the rank for 60 ..... Is not there any other way to restrict sql server to never generate ranks beyond 100.... or any other work around for it ...?? [quoted text, click to view] "John Kane" wrote:

Can you try the query I supplied again. It does the ordering and the
normilization you are looking for. make sure you don't forget the final order by rank desc. -- Hilary Cotter Looking for a SQL Server replication book? http://www.nwsu.com/0974973602.html [quoted text, click to view] "Nargis" <Nargis@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:96C73A04-0A60-477D-8866-8EDFA83D9973@microsoft.com... > John > Wat i basically want is that the if my query returns 100 records all should > be ranked from 1- 100 , i want to make sure that rank would always be 1-100.. > and at the same time i want to be able to rank the results of differnt > queries ....so max thing will not work with me > if the max rank for one query is 40 and if a record has a rank = 39 > and another query returns max rank 144 and one record has rank 60 > > if i use max method .. it rank for 39 would be greater than the rank for 60 > .... > Is not there any other way to restrict sql server to never generate ranks > beyond 100.... > or any other work around for it ...?? > > "John Kane" wrote: > > > Nargis, > > I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to achieve.

Nargis,
What you may want to do is setup a method for "Rank Assignment" via importing your CONTAINSTABLE or FREETEXTTABLE query results into a temp table (with order by RANK) and along with a new column "AssignedRank" and then starting at 100 assign each row a decreasing AssignedRank value and then return this value to the user as the "rank" values. You can use a Top_N_Rank value of 100 to limit the results to 100 rows. If this is not what you're looking for, could you provide a more specific example with the query results you expect?
