[sql-server] SQL Server 2012 Install or add Full-text search

I am working in SQL Server 2012, and would like to use the CONTAINS() function only it seems I need to have full-text search enabled for to be able to use it. How do I enable/install this feature to an existing SQL Server 2012 install? What I need are steps please as I am yet to find the steps on going about this.

The answer is

You can add full text to an existing instance by changing the SQL Server program in Programs and Features. Follow the steps below. You might need the original disk or ISO for the installation to complete. (Per HotN's comment: If you have SQL Server Express, make sure it is SQL Server Express With Advanced Services.)

Directions:

  1. Open the Programs and Features control panel.
  2. Select Microsoft SQL Server 2012 and click Change.
  3. When prompted to Add/Repair/Remove, select Add.
  4. Advance through the wizard until the Feature Selection screen. Then select Full-Text Search.

Step 1 Step 2

  1. On the Installation Type screen, select the appropriate SQL Server instance.

  2. Advance through the rest of the wizard.
