We had a similar problem where the users were allowed to enter a free query search string, but we had to use CONTAINS as FREETEXT was returning too many false positives. We ended up writing our own search-term parsing routine on the business layer that scrubs the string and replaces any spaces with AND. This of course has to be clever enough to accommodate logical grouping (when people use brackets) and multiple spaces.
It seems to work well for us.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
