FIX: Error message when you run a full-text query against a catalog in SQL Server 2005: “The execution of a full-text query failed. The content index is corrupt.”
Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2005 fixes as one downloadable file. Because the fixes are cumulative, each new release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous SQL Server 2005 fix release.
Consider the following scenario. You run a full-text query against a catalog in Microsoft SQL Server 2005. The query may be very complex or retrieve lots of data. At the same time, the catalog is being rebuilt. In this scenario, you may receive the following error message when you run the query:
Msg 7619, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The execution of a full-text query failed. "The content index is corrupt."
Additionally, a minidump file is generated on the server. The following error message is logged in the SQL Server 2005 error log:
An index corruption was detected in component SmartBuffer1 in catalog CatalogName.
