I am looking for a code that gets results of full text search using Windows search (it should be available in Vista, 7 and 8 by default).
If the query returns 1 then Full-Text Search is enabled. If it returns 0 then Full-Text Search is not enabled and you will need to run SQL Server Installation Center to add the Full-Text Search feature. Full-text searching is performed using MATCH.AGAINST syntax. MATCH takes a comma-separated list that names the columns to be searched.AGAINST takes a string to search for, and an optional modifier that indicates what type of search to perform. I am working in SQL Server 2012, and would like to use the CONTAINS function only it seems I need to have full-text search enabled for to be able to use it. How do I enable/install this feature t. Configuring Full-Text Search for Files Stored in File System or in Microsoft SQL Database. The samples provided with SDK as well as code generated by WebDAV wizards for Visual Studio use Windows full-text search (in case of file system storage) or Microsoft SQL Server full-text search (in case of Microsoft SQL storage) to provide search results. The server implementation searches both file. Set up full-text search with a wizard. To set up full-text search by using a wizard, see Use the Full-Text Indexing Wizard. Set up full-text search with Transact-SQL. The following two-part example creates a full-text catalog named AdvWksDocFTCat on the AdventureWorks sample database and then creates a full-text index on the Document table in the sample database.
I have found some questions here and some texts on msdn, but none of them have some exact code that works. I have tried with Windows API Code Pack (as it is mentioned as one of the interfaces to Windows Search), but it returns results only for file names, not for full text.

Here is the code that does work - in example I made it to search for the word 'dummy' in the desktop folder:
