Full Text Search

I did not install full text search on my server. Now I
think I will need it. I tried to enable it and found out
that I couldn't because it was not installed. I have 2
questions. 1) Do I just need to put in the CD and do a re-
install in order to select the FTS component?
2) What is the impact of installing Full Text Search?
Anything negative, positive? Thanks.
John
1) install from SQL CD. just click on the box.
2) It has big impact on memory and cpu usage. repopulating the catalogs is a
resource consuming process. So you would need to prepare a powerful box for
the sql server install.
