I'm trying to find a way to search for the strings 'C++(C plus plus)' or 'C#' in an indexed table. The table contains 70'000 word documents.
The server runs Windows NT4 sp6a and SQL 7 sp4.
I've removed the letter 'c' from the noise file which enables me to search for that letter but it seems that the indexing engine considers the characters '(plus)' and '#' as operators even if they are declared as strings ... declaring a variable and assigning the string to it changes nothing.
I've read in other forums that it could be a limitation of the indexing engine of SQL 7 and 2000 and would like to know if there is a work-around solution.
It also seems that this forum considers the plus sign as a blank character ;-)
