I installed SQL Server 2008 Express with Advanced Services, but when I try to create a new database, the option Full-Text indexing is greyed out, I believe the full-text indexin
Coincidentally I was just reading a performance guide for FTS in SQL 2008 and came across this:
The New Database dialog box in Management Studio has an option grayed out. Just below the name and owner there is a grayed out check box. In the released version of SQL Server 2008 the full text options are on by default. This was left in place in case any customers had references to it in scripts.
So it looks like it's greyed out on purpose :)
