If you use CONTAINS, then full-text search will be used. Russ

I'm basically trying to do something like this: select * from table1, table2 where table2.id=1 and table2.somefield like '%' + table1.someotherfield + '%' This works fine, although it's a bit slow for my taste... is there a way to optimize it, using full text search of verity? Somefield is a text field, and someotherfield is a varchar.
