Full Text Search Noise Words and Thesaurus Configurations

I have heard that Full Text Search uses a noise words to eliminate meaningless words in searches. I have also heard that a thesaurus is used, but I am not exactly sure how. Can you provide some details related to how both of these technologies are used in Full Text Search? I am interested in more of a background on these specific Full Text Search technologies as well as where the files are located and how I can update them.

Question of the Day

Missing the Jaro Winkler Distance

I upgraded a SQL Server 2019 instance to SQL Server 2025. I wanted to test the fuzzy string search functions. I run this code:

SELECT JARO_WINKLER_DISTANCE('tim', 'tom')
I get this error message:
Msg 195, Level 15, State 10, Line 1 'JARO_WINKLER_DISTANCE' is not a recognized built-in function name.
What is wrong?
