Does anyone know if there is a list of German words used in the Fulltext word breaker?


SQL Server Full Text Search uses language specific Word Breakers.

For the German language this is used to break/split words including compound words. However, it appears not all known compound words are included in the Word Breaker. I would like to know if a list is available of the words the Word Breaker does know about.


Solution

  • The answer is there is no answer. According to Microsoft , the words are not stored - they use a formula to "break" them. This will never be 100% accurate so i will just have to live with this fact.
