Is full-text search what I am looking for? (Newbie)

I have a windows app written in vb.net with an SQL Express backend, which is
used to track candidates and their resumes. Right now each candidate record
has a link to a word document resume. I would like to be able to search
resume's for key words in order to quickly locate all candidates who may fit
the profile for a specific job opening. From the little bit I know, I was
hoping that I could use full-text search to accomplish this by having the
resume included as a field in the database. I know nothing about how to
accomlish this. Are there any tutorials that can point me in the right
direction or am I completely off track?

Thanks for any guidance.

Yes, SQL Express is ideal for this as long as you don't surpass the space
limitations. SQL Express now supports SQL Full-Text search as well.

Thanks Hilary. I can't find any good tutorials for idiots - can you
recommend some links or books.

Thanks
