VB,
In regards to #2, I forwarded to MS the suggestion to have TEXT and NTEXT be
FT Searchable in the same manner as IMAGE columns with a file extension for
HTML code as in SQL Server 7.0 the IMAGE FT Indexing was not supported. To
the best of my knowledge the DCR (Documented change request) was filed as a
possible enhancement for Yukon (SQL Server 2005) and it is a shame that MS
is not listening in on this thread...

While Hilary only suggested two alternatives (other than staying with
Verity), there is a pure T-SQL solution to this problem, that I was going to
write about in my book on Microsoft Search technologies, but alas this
effort has ended... If you're interested the 3rd option, feel free to email
me directly.

Regards,
John
