Fulltext search miss records in select

Running
SELECT productid,productname from productsFullText
where
freetext (*, 'x2000')
or
SELECT productid,productname from productsFullText
where
contains (*, 'x2000')
gives 1 hit.
SELECT productid,productname from productsFullText
where
productname like '%x2000%'
gives 7 hits.
I use the english wordbreaker and the FullIndex is populated with all
ItemCount.
Whats wrong in my setup

Hi, Henrik,
Per my understanding, you got less records from a full-text query than a
regular SQL query with LIKE statement.
If I have misunderstood, please let me know.
For further research, I would like to know:
1. What is your SQL Server version?
2. Has the latest service pack been installed?
If the latest service pack has not been installed on your computer, please
install it first.
If the issue perists, please try rebuilding your full text catalog. You may
refer to:
ALTER FULLTEXT CATALOG (Transact-SQL)
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms176095.aspx
Also, I recommend that you check if there are some error informaion in SQL
error logs and Event logs.
Please feel free to let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
Sincerely yours,
Charles Wang

I found the answer.
The fulltext seachs command FREETEXT will only hit on full words and LIKE %%
can also find a searchtext that is in a word. Thats why I always will get
more hits using the LIKE when performing a search on one searchtext.
