| You can store them in nvarchar(max) column and use full text index do search. |

full text index is probably best.We have encountered blocking/deadlocks when the Full text index updates  but other than that its a) fast and b) uses root words and stuff to broaden the search.Alternative is to "split" the Resumes into individual words, maybe remove the "noise words", and then store the individual words in a Keywords table, and search using that.Searching usingSELECT ...FROM MyTableWHERE MyResume LIKE '%FirstWord%"AND MyResume LIKE '%SecondWord%"will run like a snail!Kristen |
