I have a local installation of Microsoft SQL Server Express 2019 and just hit the following error:
Full-Text Search is not installed, or a full-text component cannot be loaded.
So, my understanding is the SQL Server Express supports full-text search, but I need to add components.
According to one article I found, there is a New SQL Server stand-alone installation or add features to an existing installation option in SQL Server Express 2016. But I don't have this option in SQL Server Installation Center.
Can anyone tell me how to add full-text support to my installation?
UPDATE:
It appears that, while SQL Server Express 2019 does not support full-text search, SQL Server Express 2019 with Advanced Services does. So I guess my question is: how do I install Advanced Services?
Use this official download of the Microsoft SQL Server Express web installer. Select "Download Media" and pick the install medium that is right for you.
