Using Full Text Indexing

Question

I've a question about the best way to get product data searching by name. Which one is better way to do that?

1. SELECT * FROM Products WHERE ProductName = 'Samsung Note 2'
2. Creating a full text index for ProductName and get matching products that way

In brief, can my query be faster if I create a full text index?

Answer 1

Are you searching..

• whole ProductName? Then use a normal index
• individual words or fuzzy matches in a ProductName? Use full text serach
