Gordowey,
Could you provide the full output of -- SELECT @@version -- from the server
where you're getting this error? This info is helpful in troubleshooting SQL
FTS issues. Are you using CONTAINS or FREETEXT. If the former, have you
removed "have" from the language-specific noise word file? Noise.enu = US
English and these files are located under \FTDATA\SQLServer\Config where you
have SQL Server installed. If your using CONTAINS, do you get the same error
with FREETEXT?
Thanks,
John

I am using this
SELECT @@version
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.760 (Intel X86) Dec 17 2002
14:22:05 Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft Corporation Enterprise
Edition on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: )
and this query
select
[KEY] objDoc,
RANK RANK
from
CONTAINSTABLE(TAB_FULL_TEXT_NET, *, 'about', 300)
I tried to remove from the noise words file, but i got an error. Should
i stop my sql server for that (the file seem to be locked)
thnaks

issue a net stop mssearch from the command line. Make your save, and then
restart mssearch. After you have completed this you should rebuild your
catalogs to be able to search on rows which contain the word about.
