Still no SQL Full-text Search in SQL 2005 Express, but then neither was it
in MSDE 2000 as well, see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnsse/html/sseoverview.asp

b.. Full-text search
c.. SQL Agent

e.. Business Intelligence Platform, such as Notification and Analysis
