Full-Text Index Enhancements: ArangoDB Search Optimization

May 7, 2015/,

This post is about improvements for the fulltext index in ArangoDB 2.6. The improvements address the problem that non-string attributes were ignored when fulltext-indexing.

Effectively this prevented string values inside arrays or objects from being indexed. Though this behavior was documented, it was limited the usefulness of the fulltext index much. Several users requested the fulltext index to be able to index arrays and object attributes, too.

Finally this has been accomplished, so the fulltext index in 2.6 supports indexing arrays and objects!

Read on in Jan’s blog post about Fulltext Index Enhancements.
