How do you escape a double quote character inside a MS SQL 'contains' function?
SELECT decision
FROM table
WHERE CONTAINS(decision, '34" AND wide')
Normally contains() expects double quotes to surround an exact phrase to match, but I want to search for an actual double quote character. I've tried escaping it with \, `, and even another double quote, but none of that has worked.
P.S. I realize a simple example like this could also be done using the LIKE statement, but I need to use the fulltext search function. The query I provided here has been simplified from my actual query for example purposes.
