An Full-Text Catalog Item Count of 0?


An Full-Text Catalog Item Count of 0? Mark Holahan

sql server full text search:
Hi,

I've enabled a full-text index on a table having 77 thousand records on a
varchar(50) column. And yet when I when I populate the catalog:
exec sp_fulltext_catalog 'OrdersCatalog', 'start_full'
I get an item count,
SELECT fulltextcatalogproperty('OrdersCatalog', 'ItemCount'),
of 0.

This column has data 95% of the time. What am I missing?

Thank you.

Hi Hilary,

I have had a similar problem with the Full-text Catalog Item Count of 0,
after I enable some Full-text Indexing from 4 tables. I can view the
table names on the Full-text Catalog, but when double-clicked the
Catalog, the propereties page showed an Item Count of 0.

Because we are developing a back-end database for a SharePoint Services
server, based on the information from the SharePoint Administration
guide, we needed to use Domain Account, instead of the local System
account, after we saw the Item Count of 0 for our first try.

The big question is after we set up the domain account, the Item Count
was still zero.

Is something wrong with the Full-text Search configuration, or on the
SharePoint Service server?

Thanks,
Jeffrey

Is MSSearch running under the local system account? It must be for this to
work.

Are there any error or warning messages in the application log from MSSearch
or MSSCi?

You might want to consult these kb article for more information on resolving
the typical problems you get this MSSearch and SQL Server.
