Hello All,
SQL Server2005 is installed in Windows 2003 Server(64-Bit) and updated with Sql Server SP2 and SP3. I installed FilterPack and registered with SQL server as per the steps given in the following link
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/945934

I'm trying to do Fulltext search on varBinary column (contains visio documents).
When setting up the full-text index, I specified the type column(.vsd), in addition to picking the binary column.
then I run the following full-text query.
select * from visDocuments where freetext([Document],'Dell')
But its not returning the rows. I'm sure one of the row is having the word Dell.
Please guide me to solve this problem. Thanks in advance.

Note: I followed the above steps in Windows XP(32-bit) machine, it worked fine. it returned rows.
