I agree... using SQL 'CONTAINS' on full-text indexed database fields has
always been a much better search method for doing database searches, in my
experience.

Subject: Re: MS Index Server vs. Verity
Index Server is included in SQL Server 7.
For my application, I like SQL7 full-text indexing and searching on
database fields better than Verity, having directly compared their
performance in the same application. I don't use stemming though (and,
like Google, don't want to). For my application, SQL full-text is
decidedly faster. As always, YMMV.
best, paul
