Does the FileExtension column for Full-Text indexing have to be dot + extension? For example for a pdf it would be “.pdf” or can it be just “pdf”?

    The documentation for CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX seems to suggest the dot should be included:

    TYPE COLUMN type_column_name

    …

    This column, known as the type
    column, contains a user-supplied file extension (.doc, .pdf, .xls, and
    so forth). The type column must be of type char, nchar, varchar, or
    nvarchar.
