# FULLTEXT SERVICE STOP

The `FULLTEXT SERVICE STOP` command stops the full-text V2 service.

This command is useful when making configuration changes to the full-text service via engine variables that only take effect when the service (re)starts (`fts2_max_connections`, for example). Also can be used to force a reclaim of resources the service might be using before the idle-out time is reached.

## Syntax

```sql
FULLTEXT SERVICE STOP

```

## Remarks

* Stops the full-text version 2 service on all nodes associated with the aggregator on which the command is run.
* The service run state can be checked using `SHOW FULLTEXT SERVICE STATUS`.
* Refer to the [Permissions Matrix](https://docs.singlestore.com/db/v9.1/reference/sql-reference/security-management-commands/permissions-matrix.md) for the required permissions.

## Example

```sql
FULLTEXT SERVICE STOP;

```
