    Full Text Search is slow only for certain words

    Hi all,

    We have a Full Text Search setup on one of the tables in the SQL Server 2005 database.

    It works fine for most of the cases, returns results in a matter of a second. But every once in a while, it times out in our application when searching for certain words. Does anyone know why some words take longer to search for than others?

    For instance, searching for a string "Mike" takes 4 times as long than searching for "Jack".

    Any ideas?

    Regards

    Narine
