so apparently SQL Server 2008 express doesn't let you graphically manage full-text and such. I was wondering if there is a tool/addon to do that.

I came across this : http://fulltextmanager.codeplex.com/

However, I'm having a hard time getting it to work. It's complaining about path being null or something. (I was reading up on Full-Text in sql 2008, and it shouldn't even be using path column at first place, so I don't what's going on. If any of you have used this with 2008 express, then let me know how it went with you.)

Any other tools?

Is SQL Server 2008 Express all that you have? When I run my full version Management Studio against Express I get the storage node, properties, and a gui for building the catalog: screencast.com/t/csA5Y5TEvh – Larry Smithmier Nov 14 '10 at 5:02
that's all I got – progtick Nov 14 '10 at 5:13

Have you grabbed the free SQL Server Management Studio Express? I couldn't really tell from your post but it certainly offers quite a few GUI means to accomplish tasks.

I do have Management Studio, but it doesn't have GUI to manage full-text like non-express versions do. – progtick Nov 14 '10 at 21:58
