SQL Server 2012 Express Full Text Search User Instance


Is it possible to install Full Text Search feature in user instance in Server Server 2012? We use user instances locally and now I want to use this search feature. But I don't see it in the drop down of available instances to add the feature to when running Sql Server installer.

Solution

  • Full-text is not supported on User Instances. You have to use the default MSSQLSERVER instance or install a new regular instance.
