CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG catalog_name
[ON FILEGROUP filegroup ]
[IN PATH 'rootpath']
[WITH <catalog_option>]
[AS DEFAULT]
[AUTHORIZATION owner_name ]
<catalog_option>::=
ACCENT_SENSITIVITY = {ON|OFF}

thanks but i dont think thats what i'm after. what i thought was that the full text engine had to be installed when installing the database engine. it looks like the full text engine wasnt installed but it needs to be done now. does anyone know how to install that without uninstalling the database engine and reinstalling.

the catalog is the engine you need, you can add it to an specific table and an job will create fulltext engine what can be used to use fulltext search. for as far as i know there is no other way to use full text

Right click on the db in ssms and go to properties, check 'use full text indexing' in files tab.

its greyed out.

i've got two instances set up on the server. when i check configuration manager the first instance has a fulltext service running whilst there isnt a service for the second instance. this makes me think something else needs to be installed.....

i cant find anything called mfulltext search service. can this be checked from the services screen?

but.......when i check configuration manager there is a fulltext search service running but it has an instance name next to it eg. Sql Server Fulltext Search (QualityCentre). i need to create full text search on a different instance (SQL01). there is no service for SQL01.

That means didn't choose full text index when install that instance, you can add it by running install again.

I'm having this problem as well. I have a SQL 2005 x64 STD cluster without the FTI service installed. I tried to Add/Remove programs, SQL 2005 and add component to install. I get the installer, expand database and check install Full Text Service on local drive. The option however selects the entire database engine installer. So, if I proceed it assumes I want to setup another instance of SQL. I only want to add FTS to the existing clustered virtual instance has anyone found a solution to this problem?
