Adding a column question

I had a fulltext index catalog created on a table with 1 column being
indexed.  I needed to add another column from the same table, so I
added the new column to the catalog and restarted a full population
again.

I tried testing the new catalog, but the new column doesnt seem to be
indexed.  How can I tell if the new column is actually indexed.  I used
sp_fulltext_column with the add action.  The documentation on msdn says
that it adds the column to table's inactive fulltext index.  Do I need
to reactivate the table anf then do a full population?

Thanks in advance

Its not clear to me from your post - have you done a full-population? You
will need to do one.

I did a full population.  I have 2 questions.

1. Do I need to reactivate the table and then do a full population.
2. How do I check whether a specific column has been full text indexed.

Thanks

1) I didn't have to
2) you can't other than by searching for test phrases which you know are in
the column. When your population status reads idle you know you are
complete.
