Paul writes "What is the proper syntax for using a parameter in the CONTAINS clause of a full-text search. I'd been using code like:
WHERE Artist LIKE '%' + @strSearch + '%'
but wanted to stop doing table scans. I've got my SQL server all set up for full-text search but when recoding the WHERE clause, I can't seem to find the correct use of quotes and apostrophies? I'd assumed it would change to something like this: WHERE CONTAINS(Artist, '" + @strSearch + "'), but obviously this doesn't work correctly. Running the stored procedure from query analyzer works fine if I substitute the parameter with '"search string"' so I know that the catalog is working properly. Can someone offer some insight on this situation? Thanks."
