I was hoping someone could explain the differences between "Keyword" and "Full Text Sql".

Thanks

perfect, thanks - could only find this w/ sql server 2008.

Info I was searching for if anyone else is looking at this post:
In contrast to full-text search, the LIKE Transact-SQL predicate works on character patterns only. Also, you cannot use the LIKE predicate to query formatted binary data. Furthermore, a LIKE query against a large amount of unstructured text data is much slower than an equivalent full-text query against the same data. A LIKE query against millions of rows of text data can take minutes to return; whereas a full-text query can take only seconds or less against the same data, depending on the number of rows that are returned.
