Search Wiki:

Version 1.1.0.0 has been released!

Visit the Releases tab for details.
known bug - by default, the app sets the Start Row equal to "1". For searches that only have one relevant result, this will cause no results to be returned. Until the next release, be sure to explicitly change the Start Row to "0" to get expected results.

Project Description

SharePoint Search Bench has two parts: 1) a desktop app for executing searches in a Microsoft Office Search Server (MOSS) environment and 2) a .NET class library API for executing searches programmatically. The desktop app is a great way to quickly debug and experiement with MOSS search. Use it to debug scopes or to test custom Full Text queries. The API library is great for developers who want an EASY way to search against MOSS.

System Requirements

  • Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS). WSS only is not enough!
  • .NET 3.5 (for running the desktop application)

Hi,
This tool is really helpful.
I have tried running this tool with the below query, which is returning Query Malformed exception

select title, author, rank, CustomerPreference from scope() where freetext(defaultproperties, 'sharepoint search')
AND Contains(CustomerPreference, 'Office excel')
order by rank desc

Does the contains clause doesn't support words separated by space. If I give single word without any spaces, my search work without errors.
Is there any syntax error in the above query?

Any valuable information on this will be highly appreciated.

Regards.

My best advice would be to check the MSDN documentation on the CONTAINS clause: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms513993.aspx. However, it looks like you are using it correctly. I don't have a solution for you at the moment, but in the meantime you could try experimenting with using double quotes or separating the words with a comma. I'm just shooting from the hip here...

Updating...
