Full-Text Search only Noise Words

  • Hello.

    I'm trying to work around a Contains function that only has one Noise word as the search string. Any ideas? I'm running SQl Server 2000. The error message I get is:

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

    Execution of a full-text operation failed.

    A clause of the query contained only ignored words.

  • I don't know if others think this is a bad idea, but one option you potentially have is to remove the offending word from SQL's Ignored/Noice file, typically found in:

    \\SERVERNAME\c$\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\FTDATA\SQLServer\Config\noise.eng.

    The noise words are just contained in a text file format. A repopulation of your full text catelogues will be necessary (and maybe(?) a restart of your server).

  • Thanks for the reply.

    My unit it actually worried about the entire list. Unless I come across a better way I'm planning on importing the list of noise words into a table and then modifying the Contains fuction to avoid noise words.

    If anyone has a better idea, please let me know.

    Thanks.

  • You can just remove the whole file, hence have no noise words
