Can you please clear out my doubts:
There is one table say tbl_Test .I have created fulltext index on this table for search purpose.But if when I am going to add some record in this table from the site then my site speed goes down. Is this related to indexing applied on this table.

The image screenshots are not loading for part of the Tutorial. I’ve gone as far as “Populate the Index” which I guess is important because searching the table returns no results.

Thanks for the wonderful resources you offer…

Dear sir,
this is nice article, i have found one tricky problem with Full text indexing.
Os. window server 2003 32 bit
sql server: sql server 2008 Enterprise edition

i have applied full text index with track change: automatic. and normal cpu uses is 1-4%
but some time a cpu uses go to 100% all memory is taken by sqlserver.exe, population status : idle
last population date: 5 minute before current date.
this cpu uses remains 100% until next track changes does not occurred ( population date change after 10-20 minutes.)

please help me.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Friends,

I am working on SQL Server 2005, I would like grouping the full text index. Take an example: I have three tables 1) Employee 2) Supplier and 3) Client. All this tables have id and name fields. I would like to create the index such a way that if I will search with “John OR Thomas”, it will search on all these tables together and return the records based rank descending order.

Can we achieve this?

Thanks in advance

Don, Thanks for responding! When I search for a phrase eg. ‘highly advantageous’ it works fine, but when I search only for the word ‘highly’ it returns me documents where ‘highly’ is not present at all..not sure what can be the issue here.
Regarding the search phrase having brackets, its not working…If I remove the brackets and search, then it doesnt return any result because 22 (X)(1)(F) then becomes 22X1F. I will keep on trying and will let you know if it works ever!

Hi Janki – Sorry no. Apparently this is another Microsoft product that sort of works but has enough gotchas that using it a challenge. If your search phrase works without the brackets, you may have to write code to remove them before the phrase is passed into the contains clause. I have learned that some symbols and also any words or characters in the exclusion list can affect the search. If you find a solution, please share back here.

Hi Don, Did you ever get a solution to your question? I have the similar issue. Please let me know how did you solve the single phrase searching.
Also I have brackets in the search phrase. Thank you!

Its gives the 78 results and

Select * from Searchtable Where ( Contains( IPCCode ,’(“A61K 36/00″ or “A61P 17/00″) and (“C13K 13/00″ and “A61P 1/00″)’) )

Hi Pinal,
I am using MSSQL Server 2005 with the Full Text Search on the Column
tblProducts.ProductName and tblProducts.KeywordsUser

When I run the following query I could not get any result for the specific word phrase Mirror My Soul.
Can you help to find the issue with the word.
This query is working for another word e.g. One Small Drop
SELECT tblProducts.*
FROM tblProducts
INNER JOIN CONTAINSTABLE (tblProducts, (ProductName,KeywordsUser),’”*Mirror My Soul*”‘) AS KEY_TBL
ON tblProducts.ID = KEY_TBL.[KEY]

Any help to find out the issue is appreciated.

2 issues:
1 – FTI slowing down search results. When we have FTI enabled, the search results are slow. Anyone know why this is or how performance can be improved?
2 – looking for way the search can find segments of a word. IE: return an item ABC123 when I search for BC. Anyone know how to do this?
