Applies to: 
SQL Server
Azure SQL Database
Azure SQL Managed Instance
Contains a row for each search property contained by any search property list on the current database.
| Column name | Data type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| property_list_id | int | ID of the search property list to which this property belongs. |
| property_set_guid | uniqueidentifier | Globally unique identifier GUID that identifies the property set to which the search property belongs. |
| property_int_id | int | Integer that identifies this search property within the property set. property_int_id is unique within the property set. |
| property_name | nvarchar(64) | Name that uniquely identifies this search property in the search property list. Note: To search on a property, specify this property name in the CONTAINS predicate. |
| property_description | nvarchar(512) | Description of the property. |
| property_id | int | Internal property ID of the search property within the search property list identified by the property_list_id value. When a given property is added to a given search property list, the Full-Text Engine registers the property and assigns it an internal property ID that is specific to that property list. The internal property ID, which is an integer, is unique to a given search property list. If a given property is registered for multiple search property lists, a different internal property ID might be assigned for each search property list. Note: The internal property ID is distinct from the property integer identifier that is specified when adding the property to the search property list.
