Creating a Full Text Catalog

Full text indexes are logically grouped together in full text catalogs. Each full text index must belong to a full text catalog. Follow the steps below to create a new Full Text Catalog record:

1. Open a new record from the Full Text Catalogs service.
2. Enter a Name for the catalog.
3. Select the name of the database instance where the catalog should reside in from the Database drop-down.
4. If this catalog is the default full text catalog, place a check mark in the Is Default check box.
5. If this catalog will include indexes that are based on a particular language that is accent sensitive, place a check mark in the Is Accent Sensitive check box.
   
   
6. Save the record.

Once the record is saved the following conditions are met:

•  The Name and Database fields on the General tab are disabled and cannot be modified.
• The Full Text Indexes and Attachments tabs are enabled.
