A full-text index is an index on the properties and content files associated with documents or other SysObjects or SysObject subtypes. Full-text indexing enables the rapid searching and retrieval of text strings within content files and properties.

Full-text indexes are created by software components separate from Content Server. The index agent prepares documents for indexing and Documentum xPlore creates indexes and responds to queries from Content Server. For information on installing the index agent and xPlore, refer to the Documentum xPlore Deployment Guide.

You must have system administrator or superuser privileges to start, stop, or disable index agents, start or stop xPlore, and manage queue items. For information on editing the properties of the index agent configuration object and other full-text configuration objects, refer to the Documentum xPlore Administration Guide.
