"Full Text Catalogs" Option

Hello, I have SQL Server 2K Developer Edition installed on Win2K Pro. I am trying to prep a DB for Full text Search and, I can't find the option for "Full Text Catalogs" for that or any Database
Is this option only available for SQL Server 2K Enterprise Edition which - BTW - cannot be installed on Win2K Pro - only Server
Can some help and Advice as to how can I do this. TIA.Hi,
Full text search (MS Serach service) is avilable for SQL2000 developer
edition.Usually, in SQL2000, it gets installed by default for even a minimum
installation.Iam not sure why it is missing in your case.Check the
sqlstp.log file. To install FT you can pop in the SQL2000 setup CD and check
the relevant option.
