Full text catalog not populating

  • I've created a full text index for a table and placed the table in its own full text catalog. I am able to run a full population without error, but when I check the properties after the full population I only see 1 item. The table is 17,000 rows so I expect to see more items. I've been playing around doing some testing, if I create an exact copy of the table (no data), create the full text index, THEN insert data, then do a full population, it runs fine. It seems like the full population is not picking up data that was already in the table at the time the full text index was created. This shouldn't be the case though, as I understand full text indexing it should populate the catalog with existing data. Any ideas? Thanks.

  • Was this database backed up/restored from another server?

  • Nope, it's a database that's been up and running for a while now. Data was already in the table when the full text index was created on it.
