    <p>I can't quite figure out why I am getting unexpected results from the following query/statement. I have included code to replicate the issue (which may not be an issue at all but more a misunderstanding on my part about how <code>contains</code> works).</p> <pre> create table dbo.temp (id int identity, description nvarchar(max)) insert dbo.temp values ('this is a website.') --this record will be returned in the select query insert dbo.temp values ('a website exists.') --this record will be returned in the select insert dbo.temp values ('go to mywebsite.net') --this record will NOT be returned in the select insert dbo.temp values ('go to mywebsite.net.') --this record will NOT be returned in the select create fulltext catalog temp create unique index idx_dbo_temp_1 on dbo.temp (id) create fulltext index on dbo.temp(description) key index idx_dbo_temp_1 on temp with change_tracking auto declare @search_client nvarchar(100) = 'website' select * from dbo.temp where contains ((description),@search_client) drop fulltext index on dbo.temp drop index idx_dbo_temp_1 on dbo.temp drop fulltext catalog temp drop table dbo.temp </pre> <p>The query will return records that have <code>website</code> in the description field but will not return the record which has <code>mywebsite.net</code> in the description field.</p> <p>Any thoughts?</p> <p>UPDATE: the <code>@search_client</code> variable will really be a parameter passed in via SSRS so declared the variable to simulate the parameter being passed in.</p>

    2. COthe like query would work in this example instance. but not really feasible on a table with 3 million records and 5 search fields I don't think. The query would run for hours.

    3. COIf you want the mywebsite.net also then you have to use the wild card chars like * in your @search_client.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
