I'm way out of my depth, here, not speaking a word of Arabic...

How is the Arabic being stored? I've just tried this with some sentences cut from the BBC Arabic News pages and pasted into an nvarchar column, and it did seem to work -- although Query Analyser won't display the result well since it hasn't a clue about bidi.

However, the Full-Text indexer doesn't appear to have an Arabic setting, so unless the index is set to use Neutral in the Language for Word Breaker setting, it won't index any of the Arabic, and complains if you try using it in CONTAINS.

Hope this helps a bit, at least.
