Some additional link, good content, but a bit dated...
Extensions to SQL Server to Support Full-Text Search

Textual Searches on Database Data Using Microsoft SQL Server 7.0
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnsql7/html/textsearch.asp

Search the SQL Server 2000 Books Online (BOL) for "full text" (with the
double quotes) for more current and SQL 2000 up-to-date info.
