Assuming a table is properly defined to benefit of the full text indexing, does this mean that we just simply to continue to use queries like:

select * from News where NotesA LIKE '%DATA%'

which will continue to work but the process time will be immediate as oppose to not having set the table to benefit of full text indexing?

Basically, from the query side, having or not a table to be optimized for that, would the way to query remain the same?
