                                            | Hi,I am putting this question here but I am not limiting it to sql server 2005 express edition. I am developing an app on a local machine (winxp with sql server 2000 personal edition) however I came to find out that full-text does not work in this setup unless I use a server type machine. This fouls up my development somewhat and I would like to know if there is a) a work around for my sql server 200 setup  b) does full-text serach work in sql server 2005 express edition which I have installed on my PC ?Thanks for any input on this issue.Tuka |  |

                                          | this page says fulltext works with express:http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/learning/default.aspx#13it may be that the fulltext service does not exists on win2000 personal. www.elsasoft.org
