hello to everyone ,

We have in our company a two nodes active-passive cluster with SQL Server
2000 SP4.
Recently one of our customer required from us to create a full text
catalog for some tables & columns
for his database.
So we made it ,but we realise that Microsoft Search didn't work when we
use a query in order to check it if it works fine.
The service was running and i tried several times a restart of the
service.
For example we made a full text catalog for the table "News" and the
column "newstuff" .

Then we run this query : SELECT newstuff FROM news
contains(prices,'suspeding')
and the answer was nothing ,not error ,not message ..just nothing.

If we run this instead : SELECT newstuff FROM news where newstuff like
'%suspen%'
we took as a result hundreds of lines and that is correct.

I found those links-workarounds :

viewer :

I tried to made/check full text catalogs for other databases but the results
was the same..its a global problem.In another SQL server works fine.
Any ideas ???
