Description The paper focuses on the business usage of Full-Text Search at database level and compares its strengths and weaknesses with respect to B-Tree Index Search. The paper establishes why Full-Text Search is better suited for searching textual content and why B-Tree Index is limited in given situations. The paper uses a real-life application “Persons of Importance” for propagating its message.
