Text search language options

The text search language option specifies which language rules to use when performing a text search.

If QUERYLANGUAGE is not specified, the default is the language value of the text search index that is used when the CONTAINS or SCORE function is invoked. If the language value of the text search index is AUTO, the default value for QUERYLANGUAGE is en_US. The following table shows the valid language codes that may be used in the QUERYLANGUAGE option.
