Permissions
The visibility of the metadata in catalog views is limited to securables that a user either owns, or on which the user was granted some permission.
Examples
The following example uses a full-text index on the HumanResources.JobCandidate table of the AdventureWorks2022 sample database. The example returns the object ID of the table, the search property list ID, and the stoplist ID of the stoplist used by the full-text index.
Note
For the code example that creates this full-text index, see the "Examples" section of CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX (Transact-SQL).
USE AdventureWorks2022;
GO
SELECT object_id, property_list_id, stoplist_id FROM sys.fulltext_indexes
where object_id = object_id('HumanResources.JobCandidate');
GO
