Features Not Supported in a Future Version of SQL Server

The following full-text search features are supported in the next version of SQL Server, but will be removed in a later version. The specific version of SQL Server has not been determined.

The Feature name value appears in trace events as the ObjectName and in performance counters and sys.dm_os_performance_counters as the instance name. The Feature ID value appears in trace events as the ObjectId.
