enable full text search

  • Hi,

    I'm trying to enable full text indexing on a table. The context menu item for Full-Text Index Table is disabled so I ran

    EXEC sp_fulltext_database 'enable' and got the error

    Server: Msg 7602, Level 16, State 2, Procedure sp_fulltext_database, Line 46

    The Full-Text Service (Microsoft Search) is not available. The system administrator must start this service.

    The configuration for my server is as follows:

    • Microsoft SQL Server  2000 - 8.00.760 (Intel X86)

       Dec 17 2002 14:22:05

       Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft Corporation

       Enterprise Edition on Windows NT 5.0 (Build 2195: Service Pack 4)

    • Both the MSSQLSERVER and the Microsoft Search services are set to start automatically.
    • Microsoft Search runs as LocalSystem account
    • MSSQLSERVER runs as a dedicated domain account
    • Full-Text search is installed

    I really don't want to re-install SQL server unless I absolutely have to.

    Please help,

  • I am facing the same problem. Could this be due to the type of installation, i.e. Enterprise / Standard/ Desktop etc?

    Any help would be appreciated.
