 FREETEXT and inflections not working as expected

Hi all,

I'm trying to use FREETEXT to search through some data. From what I understood, FREETEXT is supposed to find inflections. However, I'm not finding that. As in,


DECLARE @VALUE NVARCHAR(100)

-- SET @VALUE = 'deployable' -- matches deployable
-- SET @VALUE = 'deployables' -- nothing
-- SET @VALUE = 'deploy' -- matches deploy
-- SET @VALUE = 'deploying' -- matches deploy

SELECT * FROM FREETEXTTABLE([MY_TABLE], [MY_COLUMN], @VALUE)


I would expect all of these search terms to get all of the results, at least with a low rank. Instead, I get only the result indicated in the comments. Am I not understanding how this feature works, or is there some setup item I missed? I followed the setup instructions at http://www.codeproject.com/KB/database/SQLServer2K8FullTextSearh.aspx.

Thanks,

Don
