2005 Express Edition: Installing Full-text Search
Jul 20, 2006
Hello,
I have installed SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Advanced Services and
SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Toolkit SP1. I cannot use full-text
search. When I called:
exec sp_fulltext_service 'load_os_resources', 1;
exec sp_fulltext_service 'verify_signature', 0;
go
I got error:
Full-Text Search is not installed, or a full-text component cannot be
loaded.
What should I do to be able to use full text search? Could you help me
please? I cannot find solution in Internet...

I have upgraded a SBS 2003 MSDE database (instance MSSQL$SHAREPOINT) to SQL Server 2005 Express Advanced Edition. This worked without a problem even when I enabled all the options for the upgrade including Full-text search.
I now want to have Full-text search on this instance of SQL 2005 with database name of STS_EVEREST_1.
I first tried to use the T-SQL command of "CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG BBVisionCatalog AS DEFAULT;"
I now know that the original database was created under SQL 2000 and therefore I needed to use SQL 2000 commands. So I used the following script:
USE STS_EVEREST_1
EXEC sp_fulltext_database 'enable'
EXEC sp_fulltext_catalog 'BBVisionCatalog', 'create';
It produced the following ERROR messages:
(1 row(s) affected)
Msg 7609, Level 17, State 2, Procedure sp_fulltext_database, Line 46
Full-Text Search is not installed, or a full-text component cannot be loaded.
I checked to see if the Microsoft Search Service was running. It was running.
Anyone know how I can fix this?

Hello !
When I try to search into a database table I get the following error :
Cannot use a CONTAINS or FREETEXT predicate on table or indexed view 'Customers' because it is not full-text indexed.
Please tell me how can I make the index.
I am using SQL Server Express 2005,VWD 2008 and WIN XP.
Thank You !

Hi Everybody,
Since SQL 2005 express doesn't support full text search... is there any third party that provides FTS for the express version?
Thank YOU

I have conflicting info about whether SQL 2005 Express contains full-text search and catalogueing functionality. I have read several places online where it is stated that "SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services" contains full-text search, but that seems to conflict with the info presented here:
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/prodinfo/features/compare-features.mspx
...for clarification, see my screenshot:

What's the real deal, and why the conficting info?

Hi. I'm trying to get full-text search working on my SQL 2005 Express with Advanced Services and am having problems. I thought that I installed it correctly, and when I look in the services running, I see it SQL Server Fulltext Search(MSSQLSERVER). Also note that I have SQL Server 2005 Standard installed on this same laptop. I don't know if that Full text Search applies to the Standard, Express or both.
What I do see is that if I connect to the database engine named <mylaptop>, I can see the version is 9.0.1399 and I can see the check box to enable full-text indexing in a particular databases properties. When I run SELECT FULLTEXTSERVICEPROPERTY('IsFullTextInstalled'), I get a 1.
However, when I connect to the engine name <mylaptop>SQLExpress, I se the version is 9.0.3042, and I don't see the same check-box to enable full-text indexing. When I run SELECT FULLTEXTSERVICEPROPERTY('IsFullTextInstalled'), I get a 0.
I've never tried this before so I know I'm probably missing something basic. But, I have searched quite a bit and not found my answer. So, I'm looking to you for help.
Thanks in advance.
John.

I installed SQL Server 2005 express with advanced services which is supposed to include full-text search capability but I can't get it to work. When I try to create a full-text catalog it gives me an error because it does not think the full-text service is installed or loaded. I can't seem to find a reference to the full-text search feature to enable or install it. any ideas?

Newbie questions.
1. Can SQL Server 20005 Express do full text searches?
2. If not, is there a way to use SQL Server 20005 Express to search a database column containing text data type?
Using Visual Basic 2005 Express, I would like to do a simple search with a search textbox and button that will return the entire contents of a field of database text when one or more words in the search text box are in the field of text in the database.
I have been playing in Visual Basic 2005 Express and using SQL queries (SELECT, FROM, WHERE) to output to DataGridView controls by using ID columns as filters in the query, etc. This I can do. But I have not been able to use a word or phrase in the search textbox as a filtered query to output the entire database field of text which contains the search word or phrase in the search textbox.
Thanks for any help in getting me started with this.

Hi,
I am totally a newbie to SQL server express. Recently i downloaded the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1. However later on i came to a situation where i need the Full text Search enabled. Is there any way i can have this Full text enabled in the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1 or do i need to install the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced
Services SP1. Please let me know if there is a way otherwise it would take me a very long time to first uninstall the SQL Server 2005 Edition SP1 and then install the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced
Services SP1.
Thanks a lot,
Nitin.

Hi, though i've been using sql server 2000 developer edition for awhile, I guess i overlooked the fact that the full-text search tool was never installed and i never needed it until now. Anyway, tried installing it today and get this error:
Installation of Microsoft Full-Text Search Engine Package Failed (-2147220991) 0x80040201
An event was unable to invoke any of the subsribers
I have no idea what this means - can you help me to get this installed correctly? I did just install service pack 4, and i tried reinstalling the components, tried rebuilding the registery of the current instance, and even tried creating a new instance with hopes that the new instance would install the full-text component - which it did not.
Any suggestions? Maybe I have to unistall the entire Software and reinstall it? Would I lose any of my data in doing this? I should note that all other tools seem to function fine.
Thanks ahead!
Dan

Any suggestions? I just completely uninstalled sql2000 and did a full-reinstallation and still it wont let me install the full-text search engine component - i check the checkbox in the installation wizard and then it gives me the same error as above.
Thanks ahead!

I have seenfound several posts about Full text Search and looked at the BOL but havn't found a simple how-to. If anyone could point me to or post instructions on configuring Full Text Search in SQL Express W/ Adv Services it would be great.
So far I have completed the following:
Created my database using SQL Expr w/ Adv Services.Database is monted in a SQL server instance not a user instance.In SMSE under database>properties>files checked the box "Use full-text indexing".What now. I have seen posts referncing using the template explorer in SMSE and the Full Text Index templates.
I see four templates in my template explorer related to FTS .
Create Full-text Catalog
Create Full-text Index
Start Full Population
Stop Population
My understanding is that you get 1 catalog per database and you can create 1 index per table in that database. The catalog is a container for the indexices.
Are the templates just generic sql statements to provide an example of what to run? I would like to see some examples specific to SQL Express.

I have 2 machines with SQL Express AS and Enterprise Ed.
I restored the same databse on both.
FT were created on both using this:
CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG [FTSearchCat]
CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX ON [dbo].[strings_catalog] KEY INDEX [PK_strings_catalog] ON [FTSearchCat] WITH CHANGE_TRACKING AUTO
ALTER FULLTEXT INDEX ON [dbo].[strings_catalog] ADD ([string] LANGUAGE [English])
ALTER FULLTEXT INDEX ON [dbo].[strings_catalog] ENABLE
Its Ok. FTC populated and ready to queries.
Next:
I did the same actions on both and have the same results:
select id,string from strings_catalog where freetext(string, 'Ice')
---------------
767581 Summer test Ice
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now I do the same actions on both:
update strings_catalog set string=N'Summer test Sea' where [id]=767581
1) Enterprise Ed:
----------------------------------
select id,string from strings_catalog where freetext(string, 'Sea')
---------------
767581 Summer test Sea
1) Express Adv.
----------------------------------
select id,string from strings_catalog where freetext(string, 'Ice')
---------------
767581 Summer test Sea
select id,string from strings_catalog where freetext(string, 'Sea')
---------------
(0 rows)
Also, on Express I have:
SELECT OBJECTPROPERTYEX(OBJECT_ID(N'strings_catalog'), 'TableFullTextBackgroundUpdateIndexOn'),
OBJECTPROPERTYEX(OBJECT_ID(N'strings_catalog'), 'TableFullTextChangeTrackingOn'),
OBJECTPROPERTYEX(OBJECT_ID(N'strings_catalog'), 'TableFulltextFailCount'),
OBJECTPROPERTYEX(OBJECT_ID(N'strings_catalog'), 'TableFulltextItemCount'),
OBJECTPROPERTYEX(OBJECT_ID(N'strings_catalog'), 'TableFulltextPendingChanges'),
OBJECTPROPERTYEX(OBJECT_ID(N'strings_catalog'), 'TableFulltextPopulateStatus'),
OBJECTPROPERTYEX(OBJECT_ID(N'strings_catalog'), 'TableHasActiveFulltextIndex')
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 1 2 186 0 0 1
For Enterpirse Ed this query:
1 1 0 188 0 0 1
Please help, how can I resolve this issue?
Note. I installed Express Adv. on another machine and have the same result.

Full text search is the search functionality that enables a fast and easy way of searching text based data in SQL Server. Although the concept of full text search is not new in SQL Server 2005, there are considerable enhancements in performance and manageability of SQL Server 2005. http://aspalliance.com/1512_Understanding_Full_Text_Search_in_SQL_Server_2005.all

Hello:
I am on a development machine with sql 2000 & sql 2005 installed. The full Text Search for sql 2005 is installed and running on this local machine.
However, I need to do a full text search with sql 2000. When I do:
sp_fulltext_database 'enable'
I get:
Full-Text Search is not installed, or a full-text component cannot be loaded.
Can I install full text search for both sql server 2000 & 2005. I read somewhere that this is not possible.
Since fulltext search loads with sql 2005 (I believe), does this mean I can't do an sql server 2000 full text search on a local machine (or server) that has both of sql2000 & sql 2005 installed.
Thanks for any help on this

I have setup full text search on a table. Everything works fine. Now I want to find documents that contain the next string: 'T-150/04'
The query will give zero results. Is there a way to find documents that contain these kind of strings? (slahses and minus)
I use the following query:
SELECT * FROM CONTAINSTABLE (jurisprudentie, text, '"T-150/04"' )
If I do this query:
SELECT * FROM CONTAINSTABLE (jurisprudentie, text, '"judge"' )
It will work fine. I know it has to do something with the interpunction things (slahs and minus), but I don't know what query may solve my problem.
Also a select * from containstable(jurisprudentie, text, '"T_150_04"' ) doesn't give me the proper result.
The minus sign and the slash are disturbing things. If i search for "150" or for "04" I will find the record, but I would like to speficically search for the exact string "T-150/04". Because these are references to case law issued by the court.
I hope someone can help me out.

Hello, I have a database that has Full Text Search it works great under Management Studio Express. I can use the CONTAINS expression no problem. Now when I try using the same database in Visual Studio 2005 the CONTAINS statement it doesn't return any values and I don't get any error messages. The way I call my database from my web.config file is as follows: <add name="MyDB" connectionString="Data Source=.FULLTEXTSEARCH;Integrated Security=True;AttachDBFilename='D:My DocumentsVisual Studio 2005WebSitesApp_DataMyDataBase.mdf';User Instance=false" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> Why doesn't Full Text Search work when I use it from my web application and it does work under SQL Server Management Studio Express? Please help, Louis

Hi, There have been a number of posts on querying multiple tables using full text in SQL Server. I haven't quite found the answer I'm looking for, and I'm aware that in 2005 some full text functionality changed. I have an Events table which joins to a Venue table and also a many-to-many link (via a table called EventsToArtists) to an Artists table.When a user searches for "Rolling Stones Wembley" (without the apostrophes), I want the query to look in the following columns:Event.EventNameEvent.DescriptionArtists.ArtistNameVenue.VenueNameI have done quite a bit of testing on this, and haven't yet got the desired results. Rolling Stones will be found in the Artists table, and Wembley in the Venue table. At the moment, if I search for Rolling Stones, it behaves as expected. But if search for the venue name as well I get no results. I'm pretty sure this is because EventName wouldn't contain all key words and so the record is excluded from the results. At the moment I am using INNER JOINs between the tables....perhaps I should be executing a full text search on each table's catalogue and then do a UNION to join the resultsets?Hope you can point me in the right direction.Thanks

the sql server documentation states that the use of wildcards is allowed by placing an '*' at the end of the search term. I can get this to work OK in the SQL Server 2005 query window, heres an example
select ID, SUBSTRING(Title, 1, 100) AS Title, Implemented, Published from Table1 where contains(title,'"Therap*"') ORDER BY Title
this works OK and returns a list ot titles with the word Therapy in the title
Im trying to implelemnt this functionalty in a web app with C#. The string is passed to a stored procedure. How on earth do I pass in the quotes ??
Ive tried building the string as normal then adding single quotes on the end, so I get something like
retval = txt + "*"; //txt contains the partial word im searching for, then add the wildcard
then retval = "'" + retval + "'"; // add the single quotes
and pass txt as a string parameter to my stored procedure. It doesnt work. Can anyone tell me what im doing wrong ??
the same query works fine in the SQL query window.

Hi,
We are facing a problem while passing a string containing the "&" character into Full Text search CONTAINS predicate. The records that do have this character are not being returned by the search.
I'd like to raise two questions:
1) Is there any special way to escape this character?
2) Does FTS index it at all?
We have tried all known (to us) ways of escaping like doubling the character, using char(38), using ESCAPE etc..Nothing seem to work. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex

Using SQL Server 2005 Express (Advanced SP2) I have created a Full-Text Search application in VB for distribution on CD for single PCs. Works fine on my local machine during development.
Although the SQL Server 2005 Express edition can be distributed freely, it does not seem to support Full-Text searches in the distributed version. Is this true? Or am I missing something with my deployment?
If I need another version of Sql Server for distribution of a Full-Text Search app, how do I go about obtaining the proper DB and permission for distribution? The DB size is about 600 MB.

To ignore the noise words in the query microsoft remommends to execute the following statements, by which we can take advantage of the new transformation of noise words in CONTAINS queries:
EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1
GO
RECONFIGURE
GO
EXEC sp_configure 'transform noise words', 1
GO
RECONFIGURE
GO
But this never works. Can any one please suggest how to make this work.(without modifying the full text text file)

hello.
is there a rational explanation for which after some select statements, the rank returned by the full-text search engine is 0, knowing that just after the repopulation the rank is displayed correctly?
in other words, time and usage messes up the ranking. why?
