Incomplete results with Turkish characters in Indexing Service

Finally I get to post my ı's and İ's as promised... I've found that MS Indexing Service returns incomplete results when searching for documents with Turkish content.

Can you perform an AND search of keywords using FREETEXT() on SQL Server 2005?

There is a request to make the SO search default to an AND style functionality over the current OR when multiple terms are used.
