Full Text Search

What does 'Full Text Search' mean?

In contrast to examining an abstract or a set of keywords connected with the material, a full-text search compares every word in the document. A full-text search is a more sophisticated method of searching a database. A full-text search quickly detects all instances of a term (word) in a table without needing to scan rows or know which column a keyword is kept in. Text indexes are used in full-text search. A text index saves positional data for all terms in the columns on which it is built. Full-text search tools are built into word processors and text editors, allowing you to locate a word or phrase anywhere in the document.
