I was creating an application in which we have to store files in data base. So i have chosen varbinary for it. Now we need to configure Full Text Search on this column.
But I am able to understand how varbinary data type will handle FTS. Because FTS works on text data type.
Check this document and this document in MSDN
To create a full-text index on a varbinary(max) column, the Full-Text Engine needs access to the file extensions of the documents in the varbinary(max) column. This information must be stored in a table column, called a type column, that must be associated with the varbinary(max) column in the full-text index. When indexing a document, the Full-Text Engine uses the file extension in the type column to identify which filter to use.
