Full-text search with '#' and '+' in keyword

    Searches by keyword containing pound '#' and plus '+' signs using a Sql Server 2005's Full-Text index, and functions 'freetext' and 'containstable' does not yield correct results matching the term, such as 'C#' and 'C++'. The returned results seems equivalent of ones returned by terms without the pound and plus signs.

    Could anyone shed some light on this?

    I hate to do this, because it's not really like answering your question, but I found this site which seems to talk all about it:

    It looks like there is info in there about C#. I saw another site that said you can search for C# and C++ as long as the c is capitalized. I have no idea why though.

    HTH.
