This article was previously published under Q309678



SYMPTOMS
One of the features considered for full-text searches in SQL Server 2000 was a thesaurus. The thesaurus feature was not completed. However, prior to SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 2, you can turn on the untested and unsupported thesaurus feature. Because the feature was not completed, it is not accurate and it is best not to use the feature. If you enable the unsupported and untested thesaurus feature, any part of your application that relies on this functionality no longer works after you upgrade to SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 2.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Microsoft SQL Server 2000. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

290211 INF: How to Obtain the Latest SQL Server 2000 Service Pack



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

This problem was first corrected in Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 2.



MORE INFORMATION
The resolution described earlier prevents you from turning on an untested and unsupported feature. Because the thesaurus feature was never completed or tested, it will not work in any version of SQL Server 2000.
