I have used MS SQL Full-Text indexing. For building fairly intelligent search engines based on data contained in a MS SQL 7, or MS SQL 2000 database it is not a terrible way to go.
You can manage the full-text indices via stored procedures so you can fully automate working with the full text indices. I built a rather nice and modular search engine using MS SQL Full-Text indexing as the underlying indexing / search mechanism. I favor full-text built into the database over verity for searches that are going to be guaranteed to mine their data from a specific database only. If you need more than searches on data stored in a database verity and or alternative indexing schemes might be more appropriate.

This would be only for the Database collections. Do any of you do this or do you have any comments on using this over Verity?
