Full-text search

In text retrieval, full-text search refers to a set of techniques for searching a single computer-stored document or a collection in a full-text database. Full-text search is distinguished from searches based on metadata or on specific parts of documents, such as titles, abstracts, selected sections, or bibliographical references.
