sql server programming : Full-Text Search Enabled??

select DATABASEPROPERTY(DB_NAME(), N'IsFullTextEnabled')

returns "1" but full-text isn't really enabled because the service isn't
running.

Is there a way to detect programmatically if the service is running?

thanks

When I query "CONTAINS" against my own test SQL server (with the full-text
service stopped), it throws an exception (which would be fine).

When I test against my ISP's SQL server, it simply returns no results (no
problem is reported).

Charles,
There are possible several issue that may be at the heart of this issue.
Could you post the full output of -- SELECT @@version -- from both your own
test SQL Server as well as from your ISP's SQL Server? It is also important
to know what is the MSSearch (if installed) and MSSQLServer service startup
account permissions as well as how you may have the local and remote server
registered in your Enterprise Manger. You should also review the following
KB article: 270671 (Q270671) "PRB: Full Text Search Menus Are Not Enabled
for Local Windows NT Accounts" at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;q270671

Note, you can also post FTS related questions to the newsgroup:
microsoft.public.sqlserver.fulltext.
Regards,
John
