Deprecated Full-Text Search Features in SQL Server 2014
This topic describes the deprecated full-text search features that are still available in SQL Server 2014. These features are scheduled to be removed in a future release of SQL Server. Deprecated features should not be used in new applications.
You can monitor the use of deprecated features by using the SQL Server:Deprecated Features object performance counter and trace events. For more information, see Use SQL Server Objects.
