I’ve built a full-text catalog on a SQL 2005 box that, after it’s re-build process completes, runs extremely slow. I’ve implemented a hack (i.e. try…catch{do again}) so that my users don’t get a timeout error; this makes me feel bad inside. All subsequent queries are lightning fast.
Has anyone experienced this issue and was/is there a solution? Thanks!
P.S. Yes, I’ve Google’d it many times. Even with my left hand.
It could also be caused by this Sql Server ‘feature’ which we’ve experienced.
You may experience a 45-second delay when you run a full-text query in an instance of SQL Server 2005 that is running on a server without Internet access
