Introducing Fulltext Statistical Semantic Search in SQL Server code name 'Denali' Release!

We are very excited to introduce a new Statistical Semantic Search feature with Fulltext Search in Denali. With an optional new parameter ‘statistical_semantics’ you can now augment your Fulltext keywords index with two new indexes – one that captures top 100 statistically relevant words from a document and another that based on these relevant words, captures the top 10 similar documents in the same table. All together now Fulltext search not only allows you to search for a keyword efficiently, but also discover statistically relevant insight through prominent words and similar content.

We are providing you a compressed zip folder SQLSearchDemo that contains following documents and samples that should help you get started with all the new great features in Fulltext Search for SQL Server ‘Denali’ Release.

We thank you for your active involvement during the development cycle of these features and are very much looking forward to your feedback from your test runs and live workload deployments!
