Full-Text Retrieval (FTR) allows you to index and search for files, properties, or document content (including text) in files. The files can be text files, word processing files (such as Microsoft® Word and Corel® WordPerfect®), and CAD files (such as MicroStation®, SmartSketch®, and AutoCAD®). However, only the text portions of the CAD files are indexed and available for searching. FTR creates an inverted index (a list of the individual words in the files) and uses this index at search time.
FTR can be used as a stand-alone product or configured with SmartPlant Foundation. For information about functional differences between the two configurations, see FTR Help.
