Just wanted to know if Linq to entities 4.0 have fulltext search capabilities? Thanks

I think that is a server option.

Anyways, if it does not (in EF), nothing stops you from calling the required SQL directly. :)

There are no specific operators or support for full text directly in EF v4.0.

I've been using custom stored procedures for my Sql Server 2008 FullText capabilities (eg. CONTAINS(.. .. ). Of course, EF can call stored procedures.

This is an option you can leverage off. Works great for L2S and/or EF.

HTH.
