    <p>I'm using <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189760.aspx" rel="nofollow"><code>CONTAINSTABLE</code></a> to search two table columns. Once the search contains small words like 'the' 'for' 'a' the search returns no results even when they are actually present in the column.</p> <p>Quick example. Column being searched contains the text. 'System needs to be upgraded'</p> <p>Following SQL returns 0 rows</p> <pre><code>SELECT * FROM Incident WHERE (TicketNumber IN ( SELECT TicketNumber FROM [Action] FT_TBL INNER JOIN CONTAINSTABLE(Action, Text, '"system" AND "needs" AND "to" AND "upgraded" AND NOT "Search Summary"') KEY_TBL ON FT_TBL.ID = KEY_TBL.[KEY] UNION SELECT TicketNumber FROM [Incident] FT_TBL INNER JOIN CONTAINSTABLE(Incident, Subject, '"system" AND "needs" AND "to" AND "upgraded"') AS KEY_TBL ON FT_TBL.TicketNumber = KEY_TBL.[KEY])) </code></pre> <p>Once 'to' is omitted it works fine:</p> <pre><code>SELECT * FROM Incident WHERE (TicketNumber IN ( SELECT TicketNumber FROM [Action] FT_TBL INNER JOIN CONTAINSTABLE(Action, Text, '"system" AND "needs" AND "upgraded" AND NOT "Search Summary"') KEY_TBL ON FT_TBL.ID = KEY_TBL.[KEY] UNION SELECT TicketNumber FROM [Incident] FT_TBL INNER JOIN CONTAINSTABLE(Incident, Subject, '"system" AND "needs" AND "upgraded"') AS KEY_TBL ON FT_TBL.TicketNumber = KEY_TBL.[KEY])) </code></pre> <p>How can <code>CONTAINSTABLE</code> be used with these smaller words, or should they be left out altogether? If those smaller words are actually meaningful in the search, how can they be included in the search?</p>

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.
