full text indexing

  • Hello,

    My question revolves around full text enabling on sql 2000.

    I have a script that rebuilds a full text catalog on a database when I restore it.  And if I use that package, I can start a full population of the index. However, the actual option of full text indexing is grayed out on the toolbar as well as in my right-click menu off the table that actually has the full text index on it.

    I was under the impression that if it wasn't enabled (not grayed out on toolbar or menu) that it wouldn't work at all...why can I populate through the package?  Or is it that there specific permissions needed to use from toolbar?

    Any insight appreciated.

    Thanks

  • No I think you have run into Microsoft Search service not installed in your SQL Server instance because in 2000 it was a separate install. You may need to rerun setup and choose repair then choose Microsoft search service as one of the components.  Hope this helps.
