Hello, I have a SQL Server 2000 sp4 server. Trying to install Full-Text
Search. I can see the Microsoft Search service and it shows as started. But
the Full-Text Search option in SEM is 'grayed out'. The FTS system procs
also report that FTS is not available. SQL Server has been stopped/restarted
but still no luck. Is there something else that needs to happen to make SQL
Server 2K see that FTS is installed?
- Thanks,
Chris M.

It's a known bug in SQL2000.
