I’ve been keeping my eye on this for a while now. A couple months ago I installed it on my desktop at home to start developing my dad’s new website PBJ Unlimited and also installed a technology preview of the SQL Management Studio Express, which looks to be just as featureful as the non-express version.
A couple days ago I checked to see if they had released a new version of the management studio and was greeted with the download for the Advanced Services – which includes full text indexing. All Free. Free to use, free to redistribute. Fantastic.
