Hi All,

I have a table that contains about 2 million records and has a full text index built on two varchar fields (lengths = 100 and 300, respectively).

Any ideas on how to make this SP run faster?
(it's now taking about 5 seconds to run)

CREATE PROCEDURE __get_links
 @intPage int = 1,
 @strSearch varchar(200) = 'free email',
 @strCommonImages varchar(100) = '/images'
AS

BEGIN
 SET NOCOUNT ON
 SET @strSearch = '"' + @strSearch + '"'
 DECLARE @intStart integer
 SET @intStart = (@intPage * 10) - 10
 CREATE TABLE #temp ( recID int IDENTITY (1,1), link_id int, link_title varchar (100), link_url varchar (400), link_description varchar (300), priority int, rank int )
 INSERT INTO #temp (link_id, link_title, link_url, link_description, priority, rank) 
  SELECT a.link_id, a.link_title, a.link_url, a.link_description, a.link_priority, b.rank
  FROM live.dbo._links a INNER JOIN
  CONTAINSTABLE (live.dbo._links, *, @strSearch, 100 ) b
  ON a.link_id = b.[KEY]
  ORDER BY b.rank DESC, a.link_priority DESC
  OPTION (KEEPFIXED PLAN)


 -- Get our 10 records
SELECT TOP 10 
      ('<TR><TD width=99% align=left><A class=blueLink8 href=javascript:sendLink("' +CAST(link_id as varchar(10))+ '");><U><B>') as col_1, 
      'col_2' =
      CASE
         WHEN LEN(link_title) > 67 THEN LEFT(link_title,67) + '...</B></U></A><BR><FONT class=fntDarkBlue8>'
         ELSE link_title + '</B></U></A><BR><FONT class=fntDarkBlue8>'
      END,
      'col_3' = 
      CASE
         WHEN LEN(link_description) > 180 THEN LEFT(LEFT(link_description, CHARINDEX('TE_ADULT',link_description)-1),177) + '...'
         ELSE LEFT(link_description, CHARINDEX('TE_ADULT',link_description)-1) 
      END,
      ('</FONT><BR></TD><TD width=120><IMG border=0 src=' +@strCommonImages+ '/clear.gif width=120 height=1></TD></TR>') as col_4,
      ('<TR><TD colspan=3><IMG border=0 src=' +@strCommonImages+ '/clear.gif width=100% height=10></TD></TR>') as col_5
   FROM #temp WHERE recID > @intStart
 DROP TABLE #temp
END

Thanks for any help....
Mike
