Full Text query times out on execution

  • I've been noticing that the first time (after a long period of inactivity) a query is performed on a Full Text catalog, it takes an extremely long time to perform the query, in most cases resulting in a timeout.  The next time I run the query, it takes a millisecond to run.

    I'm assuming SQL Sever buffers up the catalog or may have to rebuild the index.  How can I get around this?

  • Check BOL for the following keywords "Full-Text Search [SQL Server], performance".  There's a ton of information on the page, so I'm not going to quote it, but I think your problem lies in the description listed in the reference.

    Let me know if that didn't help.

  • I think there is a KB for this problem.

    You may experience a 45-second delay when you run a full-text query in an instance of SQL Server 2005 that is running on a server without Internet access

  • That did it.....thanks! 

  • Nice to hear that it helped.
