The full-text search feature of Microsoft SQL Server is a specialized indexing and querying service for character-based data in Microsoft SQL Server database tables.

By default, the application database is configured to index these incident fields:

- Owner
- ProfileFullName
- Resolution
- Subject
- Symptom

The full-text search feature is disabled by default.

## Enabling the Full-Text Search Feature

This section describes how to enable and configure the full-text search feature of Microsoft SQL Server.

1. During Microsoft SQL Server installation, in the **Feature Selection** page of the Microsoft SQL Server setup wizard, check **Full-Text and Semantic Extractions for Search**.
2. In the **Server Configuration** page of the Microsoft SQL Server setup wizard, ensure that the Microsoft SQL Full-text Filter Daemon Launcher is configured with the local service account.
