Question

What would be the search condition for the query below if we wanted to retrieve all the keys for which the columnName does not contain ‘thisWord’ ?

SELECT [key] AS someValue       FROM CONTAINSTABLE ( table ,columnName, ??what goes here?? ) 

Note: This is a full-text based search.

Answer 1

I think:

SELECT     [key]  FROM tableName     LEFT JOIN CONTAINSTABLE ( tableName ,columnName, '' ) AS ct ON tableName.[key] = ct.[key] WHERE tc.[key] IS NULL
