Book Recommendation?

Can anyone recommend a good book or site on Full Text Searching which goes
into detail about things like full text ranked search across multiple tables
especially using phrases not single words? I find the whole thing counter
intuitive compared to normal SQL
Chris,
Not at this time... but look for http://www.SQLFTS.com to come online soon
with content as I own this URL and I'm currently developing the content. As
for a book, I just today re-submitted a new book proposal to a publisher's
Editor-in-Chief (at her request) as the overall technical book market has
been in decline and new books have been difficult to launch on this subject.
However, with the Google IPO and with various announcements from Microsoft,
MSN and Steve Ballmer -
http://www.boston.com/business/techn...llenge_google/
- to quote this article - "Meanwhile, Ballmer left no doubt that Microsoft
has targeted Internet search services for the kind of all-out competitive
push that the company once used to seize dominance in Web browser software.
Despite Google's popularity, "the search market is still quite fragmented,"
Ballmer said, and existing tools still generate lots of useless results.
Ballmer said Microsoft plans to invent new search technology that will
change this, and make life more difficult for Google and other rivals."
So, now it seems to be a good time to be writing a book on Microsoft Search
Technology, including SQL Server 2005! Anyone should feel free to post &/or
email me (mailto:jt-kane@.comcast.net) with comments, encouragements,
feedback, suggestions etc. on both website content as well as future book
content!
Thanks,
John
