SQL Server: Full-Text Index (Definitions)

"The portion of a full-text catalog that stores all of the full-text words and their locations for a given table." (Microsoft Corporation, "SQL Server 7.0 System Administration Training Kit", 1999)

"A special index that efficiently tracks the words you're looking for in a table. They help in enabling special searching functions that differ from those used in regular indexes." (Thomas Moore, "EXAM CRAM™ 2: Designing and Implementing Databases with SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition", 2005)

"This is an index that can be queried for large amounts of text. This is maintained by the full-text search service." (Joseph L Jorden & Dandy Weyn, "MCTS Microsoft SQL Server 2005: Implementation and Maintenance Study Guide - Exam 70-431", 2006)

"A full-text index enables advanced text-based searches to be performed against a database table." (Michael Coles, "Pro T-SQL 2008 Programmer's Guide", 2008)

"Index that enables advanced text-based searches to be performed against a database table." (Miguel Cebollero et al, "Pro T-SQL Programmer’s Guide" 4th Ed., 2015)
