8. Insufficient memory error
If you encounter an error indicating that insufficient memory is available, set the virtual memory setting to an amount equal to 3 times the physical memory and set the SQL Server ‘max server memory’ server configuration option to 1.5 times the physical memory.
9. Error about ignored words
If you encounter errors indicating that the full-text query contains only ignored words, try to rewrite this query to a phrase-based query, removing the noise words.
You will get an error indicating that the full-text query contains ignored words when the CONTAINS predicate is used with words such ‘OR’, ‘AND’ and ‘BETWEEN’ as searchable phrase.
For example, this select statement returns error:
SELECT ProductName FROM Products
WHERE CONTAINS(ProductName, ‘and OR between’)
10. Rewrite English Query’s questions, so that these questions will not require a full-text search on a table with a uniqueidentifier key.
Asking English Query’s questions that require a full-text search on a table with a uniqueidentifier key may cause English Query to stop responding.
11. BackOffice 4.5 issues
If you decide to install the full-text search by using the BackOffice 4.5 custom setup, after a successful installation of SQL Server 7.0 (without installing full-text search), you should run Setupsql.exe from the BackOffice CD-ROM(2) (SQL70Machine_platformSetupSetupsql.exe)
You are not allowed to do it by using the BackOffice 4.5 setup, because the BackOffice Custom Installation dialog box falsely indicate that the full-text search has been installed already.
12. Time Out Errors
If you encounter an error indicating that the full-text query has timed out, try to reduce the size of the result set, or increase the ‘remote query timeout’ setting, or insert the full-text query result set into a temporary table instead of streaming the results directly to the client.
13. Make a single column unique index for the table you want will be used in a full-text query.
Full-text indexing cannot work on a table that has a unique index on multiple columns. If the table you want will be used in a full-text query does not currently have a single column unique index, add an IDENTITY column with a UNIQUE index or constraint.
14. Upgrade to SQL Server 2000, if you need to work with full-text search in a clustered environment.
Full-text search is not available in a SQL Server 7.0 clustered environment.
