Bug #: 50000373 (SQL Hotfix)



Notice
Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2005 fixes as one downloadable file. Because the fixes are cumulative, each new release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous SQL Server 2005 fix release.



SUMMARY
This article describes the following about this hotfix release:
 * The issues that are fixed by this hotfix package
 * The prerequisites for installing the hotfix package
 * Information about whether you must restart the computer after you install the hotfix package
 * Information about whether the hotfix package is replaced by any other hotfix package
 * Information about whether you must make any registry changes
 * The files that are contained in the hotfix package



SYMPTOMS
You enable full-text search for Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 2.0. Then, you upgrade an instance of Microsoft SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005. When you perform a full-text search operation on a Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 site, you may notice that some search results are missing. If you perform the same full-text search operation before you upgrade the instance of SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005, you obtain all the search results.

Note If you use Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003, you may experience this problem only if SharePoint Portal Server 2003 hosts Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 Web sites.

This problem occurs if the following conditions are true:  You use the FREETEXT predicate to perform the full-text search operation.  You include words that you want to search for in double quotation marks.

For example, you perform the following full-text search: WHERE FREETEXT('&quot;computer software hardware&quot;') 



CAUSE
This problem occurs because SQL Server 2005 considers words that are enclosed in double quotation marks to be a phrase. Therefore, SQL Server 2005 performs a phrase match. However, SQL Server 2000 will match any word in the string enclosed in the double quotation marks.



RESOLUTION
A supported hotfix is now available from Microsoft. However, this hotfix is intended to correct only the problem that this article describes. Apply this hotfix only to systems that are experiencing this specific problem.
