Full-text Search Assistance

Hi there:

We've been using full-text catalogs and some SQL stored procedures to return a ranked set of search results for a while now in 2000. Now that we've moved to 2005, I wonder if anyone knows of any good resources for returning ranked search results within 2005?

Ahh, but that was but part one of my question.

We have a table that need several fields indexed and searched, for our purposes we'll just say they're two varchar(1024) fields, a date field, and a two smaller varchar(128) fields. Would it make better sense, and return better search results, if we created a new ntext field named "SearchResults" and then wrote all of the data from the fields above to that single field for each record? W're then searching against only one field, and each result can be weighted for proximity.

Perhaps I'm just looking for suggestions on the best search methodology to apply against a scenario like I outlined above, when we need to search several fields against the same search criteria.

Any assistance you can give me would be great.

Thnks!

Brad
