The SQL Server Error Msg 7609 Full text search is not enabled or a full text component cannot be loaded appeared during an application upgrade. The application developer contacted me asking for an understanding the error and suggesting a fix to this problem. The fix will be to enable full text
The first step is to confirm if the SQL Server feature FULL-TEXT is installed on the SQL Server Instance. The method to use is a sql query:
SELECT FULLTEXTSERVICEPROPERTY('IsFullTextInstalled')
If the response is 0 , then FULL TEXT is not installed. To confirm I checked the configuration.ini file from the installation script library for the SQL Server Instance.The features installed were :
SQLENGINE,BIDS,IS,SDK,SSMS,ADV_SSMS,RS
Adding the FULL TEXT features requires accessing the installation binaries and using the Add a Feature to an existing installation. When the options appear , the existing features will be greyed out. Check the “Full-text and Semantic Extractions for Search” and proceed with the installation.
Once the installation is completed , you can check to see if the feature is installed by running the same query as earlier:
SELECT FULLTEXTSERVICEPROPERTY('IsFullTextInstalled')
You should have a 1 . If it is not 1 ,progress with a troubleshooting process.
