I'd like to run a query against an XML column in my table using full-text search. Can someone shed some light as to the steps to configure an XML index and perform the query?
Thanks!!!
Do you want to create an XML index or create a full text index on the XML column? These are two different things.
If you want to create a full text index on the XML column just create the full text index as normal and select this column as part of your search.
