Text search function

The text search function uses SQL to index, search, and analyze text and documents that are stored in system databases. You can search for information based on text, content metadata, or attributes.

A default search method is associated with each attribute. If text search is enabled for an object, you can change the Search Type of an attribute from the Database Configuration application on the Attribute tab.

A text search is allowed only for fields of the ALN data type. A text search is designed to search long descriptions, or fields that are long data types.

A full text search is a language-specific text search. Parts of words, not words, are indexed. For example, if you search for par, results do not include part.

A text search is flagged on the object and on the attributes.
