Full-text search

  • I have defined full text index on two tables in a database.The querying against the database was working fine till yesterday. Then today one of my colleague informed me that the full text search is not

    working.I used the

    sp_help_fulltext_catalogs

    sp_help_fulltext_tables

    sp_help_fulltext_columns and was able to get the table and column names participating in the full-text.However if query using the select

    or throug the web I am unable to get any rows.

    If I query using the Select statement it throws out an error

    Server: Msg 7619, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

    Execution of a full-text operation failed. The catalog does not exist or is currently unavailable. Please retry the action again later and if this symptom persists, contact the system administrator.

    I am not using any noise words.I am unable to figure it out, both the tables contains around two thousand hundred records. I even started the Full population once but still the error exixts.

  • Hi,

    --1 Enable Full text indexing on the Database

    Exec sp_fulltext_database

    --2 Create the catalog (unless you already have)

    EXEC sp_fulltext_catalog

    --3 Add a full text index to a table

    EXEC sp_fulltext_table

    --4 Add a column to the full text index

    EXEC sp_fulltext_column

    --5 Activate the index

    EXEC sp_fulltext_table

    --6 Start full population

    EXEC sp_fulltext_catalog

  • I have already defined the full-text catalog and indexes. I can view

    them using

    sp_help_fulltext_catalogs

    sp_help_fulltext_columns

    sp_help_fulltext_tables

    however if query using a select statement against that fulltext tables it throws that error. This is happening since yesterday,the same select query was working fine before.
