I need to be able to run a full text search on two sql tables in my database. They are related. I have added both tables to the Full Text Catalog. But when I run the search from my web application it only brings back results from one of the table. What is the best way to run a full text search on multiple tables that are related? I am a beginner and would appreciate any help/guidance that anyone can give.

How are they realted?? One possibilty is to make a view that selects from one table and union all to the 2nd table. Then full text catalog on the view.

Would you be able to show how the 2 tables are related?

I know how to create a full text catalog on a table through the Enterprise Manager. How do you do it for a view?

The relationship between the tables is one to many.

If you look at the following discussion:
http://www.sqlteam.com/Forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=20802

In order to search use Select .......... INNER JOIN ...... then use LIKE '%" & request("my_searched_field") & "%'

this '%" & request("field_from_form_2") & "%' comes either from your form or whatever variable you assigned to the searched string.
