Suddenly many queries to my SQL Server 2005 database are failing with this SQL error:

The execution of a full-text query failed. "The content index is corrupt.

Anyone know of a fix?

It sounds as though you may need to rebuild the Full Text Catalog:

If you happen to be running SQL Management Studio Express (like I am) the full-text stuff doesn't appear in the menus, so you can run this command: `ALTER FULLTEXT CATALOG catalog_name REBUILD`
