SharePoint 2010 FreeTextSqlQuery “Your query is malformed. Please rephrase your query.”

Question

I am attempting to run a FullTextSqlQuery. But I keep getting the error \"Your Query is malformed\". Any ideas on what is causing it to break?

Answer 1

• removing the "Portal.." from the query solved the "Your query is malformed" error.

  string fromClause = "FROM portal..SCOPE() ";

• setting the rowlimit to int.MaxValue, was causing an error to be thrown: This was causing an error "Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040E01"

  sqlQuery.RowLimit = int.MaxValue;

• removing the "Title ASC" from the order by clause, prevented the error "Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040E60". string

  orderByClause = "ORDER BY Rank DESC, Title ASC";
