SQL Server fulltext - Search failures

[dbasnett]

1) Since you're using double quotes (simple_term = exact match case insensitive), have you tried the LIKE-Operator instead? Maybe lower casing everything before comparing
Just to test if the results are the same resp. "wonky"
2) Since "hist" is an int, have you tried hist=0 (or-ed with Is Null)? Maybe someone changed the default-value

If I rebuild and repopulate the problem goes away.
