I'm having difficulty getting full-text search working in SQL Server 2008 Express with Advanced Services. I have a table loaded with .DOCX files as varbinary(MAX) data that I want to use for a full-text catalog, but it doesn't seem to recognize the .DOCX format.

Here are the steps that I've taken...

Installed the latest Filter Pack 2.0
Exec sp_fulltext_service 'load_os_resources', 1
Exec sys.sp_help_fulltext_system_components 'all' (NOTE: .DOCX is not shown as a filter)
Building the full-text catalog fails to identify any key words

I initially thought there might be a conflict between x86 SQL Express and x64 Filter Pack on my Windows 7 machine, but I just tried it with everything x86 in a Windows XP virtual machine and got the same result.

As we all know SQL Server 2005 Express is a very powerful free edition of SQL Server 2005. However it does not contain SQL Server Agent service. Because of this scheduling jobs is not possible. So if we want to do this we have to install a free or commercial 3rd party product. This usually isn't allowed… >>> More
