Document formats supported for Db2 Text Search

You must specify the format (or type) of text documents that you intend to search using Db2 Text Search. This information is necessary for indexing text documents.

The text column data can be plain text, HTML documents, XML documents, or documents with rich text or proprietary formatting. Documents are parsed to extract relevant parts for indexing, thus making them searchable. Some elements, for example, tags and metadata in an HTML document, are not indexed and thus not searchable.
