Author What functionality replaces English Query in SQL 2005?

What does SQL 2005 do that makes Microsoft feel that we don't need English
Query anymore?

(PS: I'm already aware that if you upgrade an existing server it doesn't
delete English Query.)

None.

English Query was discontinued, and there is no upgrade path. (I guess there
wasn't enough of a market for the product.)

Perhaps, if there is a market, another vendor will offer a product with that
functionality.

However, Full Text Search is much improved, and with a little imagination,
my server your needs.

Hi jp,

In addition to Arnie's reply - you can always suggest that Microsoft
brings back English Query through the Connect site. In my experience,
Microsoft does listen - especially when many a suggestion collects lots
of votes.
