FreeText Query is slow - includes TOP and Order By

Question

The Product table has 700K records in it. The query:

SELECT TOP 1 ID, Name FROM Product WHERE contains(Name, \'\"White Dress\"\') ORDER BY DateMadeN

Answer 1

I can't see the linked execution plan, network police are blocking that, so this is just a guess...

if it is running fast without the TOP and ORDER BY, try doing this:

SELECT TOP 1
    *
    FROM (SELECT 
              ID, Name, DateMadeNew 
              FROM Product 
              WHERE contains(Name, '"White Dress"')
         ) dt
    ORDER BY DateMadeNew desc
