I am very new to SQL and Access projects.

I have created the full text catalogs for my tables, so that I can search all the tables at the same time, from any of the fields in the catalogs.

I have created the following procedure:-

create procedure usp_full_text(@findtext varchar(255))
as
select set_id as URN, input_date as date_of_record from set_records where freetext (*, @findtext)

There are a few union selects under this, but

If I search for perhapse 'SMITH' from within access, then this will bring back all the records which have smith in them somewhere, which is good, however if I repeat the search for 'smit' then I get no records returned.

How can I change the code to find the parts of words, or string of charactors, and how can I set this to do a soundex search?

Hopefully all this is possible, i just need pointers on how to achieve this, or I could be sat there for days.

Many thanks for any help you can offer.

I have exactly the same problem! THe index does not appear to be populating, I just upgraded to SP4 in the hope it would sort the problem out but no luck :( Did you ever find an answer?
