What 2 operators? And have you read the documentation?

There are no operators at all in this query.
There are clauses, three of them.
It would not execute because there is a typo in the CONTAINS function name.

'Cannot use a CONTAINS or FREETEXT predicate on table or indexed view 'dbo.Categories' because it is not full-text indexed'
