Fix SQL Server 2008 Express Full Text Index Management Missing



If you installed the SQL server 2008 express and you are missing the ability to manage full text indexes inside SQL server 2008 management studio. I.e. you are missing the storage folder inside management studio.
First make sure you installed SQL Server 2008 Express with Advanced Services (the version without advanced services does not support free text search functionality).
Second Try to Install SQL Server 2008 Express Edition Service Pack 1. Besides fixing some bugs it added the ability to manage full text indexes on my machine.
