I'm trying to speed up a wildcard search on a text field along the lines of 
SELECT companyName from companyDetails where companyName like '%eagle%'

The database is mssql 2005 and the table has over two million rows.

What I have already done is to create a full-text index on companyName and 
while it does appear to run faster, the results generated by the query using 
the full-text index aren't even nearly the same as the results of the wildcard 
query in that the wildcard search picks up 'eaglehawk' but the full-text query 
doesn't, even using "eagle*".

Can anyone explain this for me or point me to a reference that will help? 

Thanks and sorry for the OT but I thought other people here might be interested.
