Hello,
this is my first post in the new design of WWF :)
 
I've an MsSQL database of 50,000 records, it is for a law book.
I don't have experience for working with such a big database, so do you have any advices for how do I make a text search inside this database, would the ntext field has any special settings to fasten the search through it?
 
thanks in advance.

Using only the LIKE keyword makes for a pretty limited search, it only allows for exact matches.

You may be better off enabling full-text indexing, that'll allow you to get better matches, and should be more optimised.

Here's an article that explains how to implement it http://www.developer.com/db/article.php/3446891
