Copying SQL Search from SSMS v17.7 to SSMS v18

crookie

I have SQL Search installed for SSMS v17,7 but I cant seem to be able to transfer it to SSMS v18 that I also now have installed. Reinstalling the installation makes no difference. Can you please help?

Hi @crookie

Sorry to hear that you're having issues using SQL Search in SSMS v18.  Could you please confirm what version of SQL Search you're using?

crookie

Hi. My SQL Search version 3.0.5.1607

Regards

Hi @crookie

Thanks for confirming.

You'll need to upgrade to SQL Search v3.2 for SSMS v18 support.

crookie

Hi thanks. So I have installed the latest version V3.3.0.2332 and I can now see it in SSMS V18, but all the options are greyed out. It all still works perfectly well in SSMS V17.7

Hi @crookie,

SQL Search v3.3 was mistakenly released, so could you please uninstall and try SQL Search V3.2 instead?

You can install using the following link:

Hi @crookie

After another uninstall and reinstall of SQL Search, it functions properly now in my SSMS 18. Can you please try one more time?

Thanks.
