Question

I have implemented Full Text Search on one of Sql Server 2008 Table. I am using containstable query to get the result and sorting it on the basis of Rank.

Example

SELECT Ad_text.*, k.rank
FROM Ad_text
INNER JOIN CONTAINSTABLE(Ad_text, text, 'Wanted or Engineers or bride') k
ON Ad_text.id = k.[KEY] order by rank desc

Now when query returns result, it rank those rows higher which have high number of frequency of any of these words where as i want those rows to be ranked higher which has all these words.

Like query will return result in this way

1. Wanted Wanted Wanted Groom (Rank 200)
2. Wanted Engineers For (Rank 180)
3. Wanted Bride for Engineers Rank(190)

where as i want third one to be ranked higher. Is there is any to tell containstable that not increase weight for repetitive text.
