Thesaurus files are automatically loaded by full-text queries that use the thesaurus. To avoid this first-time performance impact on full-text queries, we recommend that you execute sp_fulltext_load_thesaurus_file.
Use sp_fulltext_service 'update_languages' to update the list of languages registered with full-text search.
