Hi Hilary,
these are the code I used:
Use Pubs
EXEC sp_fulltext_catalog 'Demo', 'create'
EXEC sp_fulltext_table 'employee', 'create', 'Demo', 'pk_emp_id'
EXEC sp_fulltext_column 'employee','fname','add', 0
EXEC sp_fulltext_column 'employee','lname','add', 0
EXEC sp_fulltext_table 'employee','activate'
EXEC sp_fulltext_catalog 'Demo', 'start_full'
EXEC sp_fulltext_table 'employee','start_change_tracking'
EXEC sp_fulltext_table 'employee','start_background_updateindex'
I got the gatherlog pop up box:
31/5/2006 10:29:24 am Add The gatherer has started.
What does that mean ?
Go to the EM to see my catalog property:
Status tab -
Status: Idle
Item count: 0
Catalog size: 1 MB
Unique key count: 1
Last population date: 31/05/2006 10:29:24 am
Tables tab -
Table: employee
Fulll-text indexing enabled: Yes
So it seems the catalog did not get populated as I think because the item
count is 0.

Ah yes, there are more pop up boxes:
One box said: Error fetching URL (, 800700e9 - No process is on the other
end of the pipe)
The last box said: Complete full crawl.

Do you know which iFilter you are using?

Hi Hilary,
I have not installed any additional filter.
