With Windows 10, many options and settings have been moved around or changed entirely. If you’d like Windows’ search to examine the contents of files, as well as the names, here’s how to do. I am working in SQL Server 2012, and would like to use the CONTAINS function only it seems I need to have full-text search enabled for to be able to use it. How do I enable/install this feature t. I recently updated from 8.1 to 10 and discovered that windows stopped searching inside odt files, in content. It only search in file names. Earlier in 8.1 it worked perfectly fine.

I am looking for a code that gets results of full text search using Windows search (it should be available in Vista, 7 and 8 by default).

I have found some questions here and some texts on msdn, but none of them have some exact code that works. I have tried with Windows API Code Pack (as it is mentioned as one of the interfaces to Windows Search), but it returns results only for file names, not for full text.

Here is the code that does work - in example I made it to search for the word 'dummy' in the desktop folder:

That's what you want.

Network mapping to visio. Visio is not technically a network management tool, but in my opinion it deserves a place in every administrator’s toolbox. Trust me on this – nothing makes you look less professional than sharing a diagram created on the back of a scrap piece of paper – or worse, MS Paint. However there can be an art to using tools like Visio. Apr 29, 2013  Are there any possibilities to configure Network-Discovery to analyze the Company's Network over SNMP or something like that? Found out a microsoft article about using Enterprise Network Tools in Visio 2002. But there wasn't any information about features or tools in the newer Versions of Visio. Thanks for replies advance. Best Regards, Phil. Export network diagrams to Visio Save time on documentation by exporting to Microsoft Office Visio, Orion® Network Atlas, PDF and PNG formats. Export network maps to Microsoft Office Visio, PDF, and PNG formats, and also schedule updated map exports to Orion® Network Atlas. Microsoft Visio is the predominant network mapping tool, and has become almost synonymous with network diagrams. Visio’s ubiquity makes it easy to share network diagrams within and between organizations. But for network managers, the main drawback of Visio is the absence of a network auto-discovery feature. Hence, Visio is not a replacement.

I don’t know about you, but I deal with a lot of applications that require SQL Server as their back end database. I like SQL Server for many reasons. For starters, it is broadly supported by applications. But probably most importantly, is that I feel I can support it to a certain extent.

That is until I need to do a big change to the installation. Recently, I had to add a component to an existing SQL Server 2008 R2 database. The component was the SQL Full-Text Search and is required for System Center 2012, which I was performing as a new install. I definitely didn’t want to add another database, so the next option was to add the component to the existing central DB server. But, SQL Full-Text Search isn’t a default component that is installed. The fix was easy, but it’s not exactly what you may think.

My default reaction was to run the setup again from the DVD and add the component. I’ll save you the hassle — that doesn’t work. What we need to do is go into the Programs and Features applet and add the component to the existing installation. This step is shown in Figure A:

This is where we can change the SQL Server components (click to enlarge)

Once we add features, we will then be prompted for the DVD for the setup to run. But, it’s important to note that it has to be launched from the Programs and Features applet. The feature can then be selected explicitly from the setup wizard to add the SQL Full-Text Search component as shown in Figure B.

The components that need to be added are selected here

The final step is to specify the instance where SQL Full-Text Search is to be installed. In my practice, I live in a world of default instantiation of SQL Server instances, and generally don’t put multiple instances on one Windows Server. Nonetheless, it is a supported configuration to add SQL Full-Text Search to one instance yet not another on a server that has multiple SQL Servers. This step is shown in

The SQL Server instance is selected here.

The process of adding a SQL Server Component, in this example, SQL Full-Text Search, is quite simple. But, it can be disconcerting to go and make big changes to a SQL Server that is in use, especially if you don’t have a DBA on staff to go to for specific expertise.
