sqlexpress full-text search problem

  • Is it possible to maintain FT indexing with autoupdating of FT indices?

    I tried many ways and it seems SQlexpress has restriction: you can full populate catalog but catalog cannot be autoupdated. Is it?

  • Express does not come with FULLTEXT but developers added it through code so Microsoft relented so I am not surprised it is not populating the catalogs automatically which means Microsoft just let developers use old technology for free.  The reason is 2000 require you to populate the catalogs manually when I last used it a long while back.

  • Hi,

    sqlexpress comes with FT without any notes about restrictions. But i cannot find how to do autoupdating.

  • Full Text was not working out of the box with Express then the developer in the link below provided the code solution so Microsoft added it with service packs but I think they added the 2000 version which is manual.

  • Yes, now its working, thank you.

    Its very strange: i use the same script for FT creating but all new items is not reflected in the FT catalog....

  • Then I would say check the configuration Manager to make sure Fulltext Search is set to auto from Manual mine is auto by default but I am running the developer edtion.  Hope this helps.

  • Hi, thanx, its a difference between express and other editions of 2005.

    In dev ed or enterprise ed no problem with automatic FT updating.
