MsSql 2008 full-text limitations

In SQL 2008 fulltext intexes exclude stopwords. The default stoplist can be disabled by using
with stoplist off
when creating the fulltext index on the table.

Another limitation that I cannot seem to get around is that fulltext search function contains only allow wildcard characters at the end. Probably due to the same index limitations as ends-with (like '%word') searches has.

See following examples:

Will not match "Joel"
select * from Person where contains(FirstName,'"*oel*")

Will match "Joel"
select * from Person where contains(FirstName,'"*Joe*")
