Syntax error near 'of' in the full-text search condition 'control of'

Question

I have the following WHERE clause:

WHERE (@Keywords IS NULL
            OR (CONTAINS((p.Title, p.Area, p.[Message]), @Keywords))
        )


        

Answer 1

Enclose the keywords in double quotes if you want to search exactly for control of

SET @Keywords = '"control of"'

If you want to search for control and of, use the following:

SET @Keywords = 'control AND of'

But server may consider of as a garbage or stop word, so in this case use the following:

SET @Keywords = 'control AND "of"'
