Understanding SQL Server FREETEXT Predicate

The FREETEXT predicate is used in the WHERE clause of a SELECT statement to perform a full-text search on full-text indexed columns containing character data. It searches for values matching the meaning rather than exact wording of the search terms. When used, it separates the search string into words, generates stemmed forms, identifies expansions, assigns weights, and finds matches.

Is a predicate used in the Transact-SQL WHERE clause of a Transact-SQL SELECT

statement to perform a SQL Server full-text search on full-text indexed columns


containing character-based data types. This predicate searches for values that match the
meaning and not just the exact wording of the words in the search condition. When
FREETEXT is used, the full-text query engine internally performs the following actions on
the freetext_string, assigns each term a weight, and then finds the matches:

 Separates the string into individual words based on word boundaries (word-
breaking).

 Generates inflectional forms of the words (stemming).

 Identifies a list of expansions or replacements for the terms bas
