Full-Text Query Error: Unknown Result

  • I'm running SQL Server 7.0 on Win2k Server and am trying to get up and running with full-text search.

    I enabled full-text search on the DB, created the catalog, added the tables to the catalog, selected the columns i wanted, and filled my catalog. No problems.

    However, no matter what query i execute i always get the same (unhelpful) error. here is my test query and my resulting error, any feedback is greatly appreciated:

    select * from Item where contains(subject,'sql server')

    Server: Msg 7607, Level 17, State 1, Line 1

    Search on full-text catalog 'CMS_FullText' for database ID 10, table ID 1058102810 with search condition 'sql server' failed with unknown result (35c2f970).

  • The problem is like this one listed for SQL 2K SP2 see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q317486 what SP level are you at with you SQL 7 server. Also someone made the statement this began after installing a a service pack which was fixed be reinstalling full-text catalogs. Other than that check the logs and event viewer to see if anything was written there.

  • The problem came about when we installed Full Text search on SQL Server 7.0 after we had installed SP4.

    Re-installing SP4 fixed the problem.

  • Since SP4 is new may want to let Microsoft know of your situation to make sure that they take a look and see if is a reporducable issue.
