Is it really true that the contains function does not work unless the table you are looking at is full-text-indexed? That sucks, and it is not in the documentation for CONTAINS.

Also, as far as I can tell, MSDE does not support full-text indexing. Is that correct? That sucks too, even more so that Contains requires full-text indexing, because I am developing using MSDE, and I would like to use Contains and full-text indexing.

Is it really this bad?

Thanks.

Probably a daft question, but I don't suppose LIKE will do instead of CONTAINS?
