How to implement guide with sql server full-text search returning inconsistent results in specific queries
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but I'm working with a frustrating scenario with SQL Server's Full-Text Search functionality..... I'm using SQL Server 2019 and have a full-text index on a column containing textual data. The index is built on a large table with around 500,000 rows. When I run the following query: ```sql SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE CONTAINS(MyColumn, '"important document"') ``` I'm expecting to retrieve rows that contain the exact phrase 'important document'. However, it occasionally returns rows that do not contain this phrase at all. I've double-checked the data and the full-text index seems to be functioning correctly. I have also tried using the FREETEXT function, but that leads to even more unexpected results, returning rows that are tangentially related but not exact matches. To troubleshoot, I re-indexed the table, and I also added the specific query to the database logs to monitor performance and see if any errors were triggered. There are no apparent issues or errors logged during execution, which adds to the confusion. I even verified the stoplist used by the full-text index to ensure that no relevant words are being filtered out. Is there a specific setting or configuration that I might be missing, or are there known quirks with Full-Text Search in SQL Server that could lead to such inconsistent behavior? Any insights or guidance would be appreciated, as Iām at a bit of a standstill with this scenario. What's the best practice here? My development environment is Windows. Am I missing something obvious?
