Where is the FullText search Feature on SQL Server Express 2008 r2?

According to this page (from July 2010), SQL Server express included the fulltext feature:

Today (March 4th) I tried to download does not include it. I Downloaded the 64 bit version with tools and it is not included. Did Microsoft change this? Is there a way to get FullText now?

You need to download SQL Server 2008 R2 Express SP1 with Advanced Services. Full-Text Search does not come with the smaller, basic, Express edition.

You want to download the following file from this location:

SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe - if you use a 64-bit operating system
SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU.exe - if you use a 32-bit operating system
