Application Crash when using "Not" in the search field
Greetings, we're experiencing some oddities in search when using "All Words" and "Exact phrase" and using the search term "Not" or term with "Not" (Could not be) in it.

Current version is 6.0.41.

Is this a known previous issue and has this been fixed in a recent hotfix?

RE:Application Crash when using "Not" in the search field
Additionally - we've notice that exact phrase search with the word "Not" in them become "Any Word" searches. This can also be repeated here on your web site. Do an exact phrase search for "Should not be" and you will see results with onlty "should" in the results.

RE:Application Crash when using "Not" in the search field
Hi,

What do you mean exactly by the crash? Could you please elaborate more on this?

Regarding the "not" word - it is a part of the Lucene.Net syntax - it is a stop or noise word used by the analyzer.

So, you may need to change the analyzer type used for your index or create a custom analyzer to work with this word.
Another option is to define the stop words for English excluding "not" and adding the txt file into App_Data\CMSModules\SmartSearch\_StopWords\ folder and then select this stop words option in the index settings.

Best regards,
Juraj Ondrus

By "crash" I means "Server Error in "/" Application

We applied all current hot fixes hoping for a fix but we still have the problem when we enter "not" in an All Word search. Below is the stack trace.

RE:Application Crash when using "Not" in the search field
Here is what one of our Developers found.

To get the error enable "Search Attachments" in the Smart Search dialog with results web part and we get the errors. Index is using "subset" analyzer type. We have done this on two separate test installations and get the same result.

Again this is searching "could not be" All Words.

RE:Application Crash when using "Not" in the search field
Hi,

thank you for the information. I just want to be sure - havbe you configured the SQL server for searchning in attachments and have you followed the documentation on how to search in attachments and all the pre-requisities?

It seems that the full text search is not configured.

Best regards,
Juraj Ondrus

RE:Application Crash when using "Not" in the search field
Juraj-

The full text search was already configured per the instructions on your site, but the issue is in the way the search expression is being passed from Kentico to the SQL server. The query shown in the exception text that Andy posted above will NOT run in a SQL query analyzer because the search expression's keywords have not been escaped correctly, and "not" is a reserved word:
SELECT SUM(RANK) AS [Score], DocumentID, SiteName, NodeID, NodeAliasPath, DocumentCulture, NodeClassID, ClassName, NodeACLID, NodeSiteID, NodeLinkedNodeID, NodeOwner
FROM CMS_Attachment INNER JOIN
CONTAINSTABLE(CMS_Attachment, AttachmentBinary, '(could AND not AND be)' ) AS KEY_TBL ON CMS_Attachment.AttachmentID = KEY_TBL.[KEY] INNER JOIN
View_CMS_Tree_Joined ON View_CMS_Tree_Joined.DocumentID = CMS_Attachment.AttachmentDocumentID
WHERE (Published = 1) AND (((View_CMS_Tree_Joined.DocumentSearchExcluded IS NULL) OR (View_CMS_Tree_Joined.DocumentSearchExcluded = 0)) AND (DocumentCulture = N'en-US') AND (NodeSiteID IN (1)) )
GROUP BY DocumentID, SiteName, NodeID, NodeAliasPath, DocumentCulture, NodeClassID, ClassName, NodeACLID, NodeSiteID, NodeLinkedNodeID, NodeOwner ORDER BY Score DESC

SQL sees the search keyword "not" as a logical operator in this query because it hasn't been escaped. If you escape the keywords properly, the query runs successfully:
SELECT SUM(RANK) AS [Score], DocumentID, SiteName, NodeID, NodeAliasPath, DocumentCulture, NodeClassID, ClassName, NodeACLID, NodeSiteID, NodeLinkedNodeID, NodeOwner
FROM CMS_Attachment INNER JOIN
CONTAINSTABLE(CMS_Attachment, AttachmentBinary, '("could" AND "not" AND "be")' ) AS KEY_TBL ON CMS_Attachment.AttachmentID = KEY_TBL.[KEY] INNER JOIN
View_CMS_Tree_Joined ON View_CMS_Tree_Joined.DocumentID = CMS_Attachment.AttachmentDocumentID
WHERE (Published = 1) AND (((View_CMS_Tree_Joined.DocumentSearchExcluded IS NULL) OR (View_CMS_Tree_Joined.DocumentSearchExcluded = 0)) AND (DocumentCulture = N'en-US') AND (NodeSiteID IN (1)) )
GROUP BY DocumentID, SiteName, NodeID, NodeAliasPath, DocumentCulture, NodeClassID, ClassName, NodeACLID, NodeSiteID, NodeLinkedNodeID, NodeOwner ORDER BY Score DESC

Please have a developer look into this issue for us.

Thank you!

Regarding the issue, thank you for letting us know about this issue. Regrettably, this seems to be a bug in the current version. I'm very sorry for this inconvenience. We will try fix it in the next version or in the next hotfix package for this particular Kentico CMS version.

RE:Application Crash when using "Not" in the search field
Hi Juraj, I am setting up a SmartSearch.
Anyway the system searches attachments using the Microsoft SQL Server full‑text search.
Is there a possibility modify JOIN statement as shown below?
SELECT SUM(RANK) AS [Score], DocumentID, SiteName, NodeID, NodeAliasPath, DocumentCulture, NodeClassID, ClassName, NodeACLID, NodeSiteID, NodeLinkedNodeID, NodeOwner
FROM CMS_Attachment INNER JOIN
CONTAINSTABLE(CMS_Attachment, AttachmentBinary, '("could" AND "not" AND "be")' ) AS KEY_TBL ON CMS_Attachment.AttachmentID = KEY_TBL.[KEY] INNER JOIN
View_CMS_Tree_Joined ON View_CMS_Tree_Joined.DocumentID = CMS_Attachment.AttachmentDocumentID
WHERE (Published = 1) AND (((View_CMS_Tree_Joined.DocumentSearchExcluded IS NULL) OR (View_CMS_Tree_Joined.DocumentSearchExcluded = 0)) AND (DocumentCulture = N'en-US') AND (NodeSiteID IN (1)) )
GROUP BY DocumentID, SiteName, NodeID, NodeAliasPath, DocumentCulture, NodeClassID, ClassName, NodeACLID, NodeSiteID, NodeLinkedNodeID, NodeOwner ORDER BY Score DESC

change to

SELECT SUM(RANK) AS [Score], DocumentID, SiteName, NodeID, NodeAliasPath, DocumentCulture, NodeClassID, ClassName, NodeACLID, NodeSiteID, NodeLinkedNodeID, NodeOwner
FROM CMS_Attachment INNER JOIN
CONTAINSTABLE(CMS_Attachment, AttachmentBinary, 'FormsOf(inflectional,"could") and FormsOf(inflectional,"not") and FormsOf(inflectional,"be")'  ) AS KEY_TBL ON CMS_Attachment.AttachmentID = KEY_TBL.[KEY] INNER JOIN
View_CMS_Tree_Joined ON View_CMS_Tree_Joined.DocumentID = CMS_Attachment.AttachmentDocumentID
WHERE (Published = 1) AND (((View_CMS_Tree_Joined.DocumentSearchExcluded IS NULL) OR (View_CMS_Tree_Joined.DocumentSearchExcluded = 0)) AND (DocumentCulture = N'en-US') AND (NodeSiteID IN (1)) )
GROUP BY DocumentID, SiteName, NodeID, NodeAliasPath, DocumentCulture, NodeClassID, ClassName, NodeACLID, NodeSiteID, NodeLinkedNodeID, NodeOwner ORDER BY Score DESC

BR, Dmitry

RE:Application Crash when using "Not" in the search field
Hi,

Regrettably this is possible only if you have Kentico CMS with source code. Have you bought Kentico CMS licence with source code? If yes, please let me know and I will try to provide you solution.

Roman Konicek
