How to perform full-text search related tasks in SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services

SUMMARY

Consider the following scenario. You install Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services. You select Full-Text Search during the installation. In this scenario, the following items that relate to full-text search are unavailable in the SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) user interface (UI):
  • The Storage folder under a database folder
  • The Full Text Index command in a table shortcut menu
This article describes how to perform full-text search related tasks in SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services.

MORE INFORMATION

SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services does not include SQL Server Agent functionality. Full-text search related tasks in the SSMSE UI require this functionality. However, you can perform Transact-SQL-based full-text search related tasks in the query editor in SSMSE.

The Template Explorer component that is included in SSMSE contains the following full-text search related templates:
  • Create Full-text Catalog
  • Create Full-text Index
  • Start Full Population
  • Stop Population
These templates help accelerate full-text search related task generation.

To access these full-text search related templates, follow these steps:
  1. Start SSMSE.
  2. Connect to the instance of SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
  3. On the View menu, click Template Explorer.
  4. In Template Explorer, expand the Full-text folder. The full-text search related templates are in this folder.
To use the template, open a query editor in SSMSE. Then, drag the template from Template Explorer to the query editor.

For more information about the Transact-SQL statements that you can use to create and manage full-text catalogs and indexes, visit the following Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) Web site:
