Hi, After the full-text search index process concludes, aren't your "like" queries supposed to be *faster*? Surely I've done nothing wrong :-)... I've created a full text index on my tblReceipts table with 800K records, which took SQL Server 2000 about 6 hours to complete. I selected two columns as eligible for full-text queries (using the Full-Text Indexing Wizard), the LastOnlyName being one of them. Shouldn't this query (running from a cf template) take less than 25 seconds? SELECT LastOnlyName, FirstName, SUM(Amount) AS totAmt FROM tblReceipts WHERE (LastOnlyName LIKE '%FORTA%') GROUP BY LastOnlyName, FirstName ORDER BY totamt DESC Thanks in advance for any assistance. Sincerely, Andrew
