SQL-Server-2008

My query is below:

SQL

SELECT FT_TBL.ID,FT_TBL.Description,KEY_TBL.[KEY], KEY_TBL.rank FROM Test AS FT_TBL INNER JOIN CONTAINSTABLE (Test, Description, '(method NEAR system)', 2) AS KEY_TBL ON FT_TBL.ID = KEY_TBL.[KEY];

I set distance to 2 but it displays all records. Have any changes in my query or any idea?
I m using SQL server 2008.

My Description column values is below

Description:
1)operation method and communication system thereof
2)Method and system for zone-based capacity control

There are two values in description field.
If i set the search values are method and system and distance value is 2 using near operator in sql server 2008 it will be displayed result as "operation method and communication system thereof"...

Can you please help me?

Have you seen it: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189760.aspx[^]?

In your example, 2 means: top_n_by_rank, returns the description of the top 2 records where the Description column contains the word "method" near either the word "system".

We need more details to help you... ;(
