Because indexed searches are performed using the search engine, they support features such as root word search, fuzzy search, search context hits, and relevance ranking. Non-indexed searches support case and accent sensitivity settings, and require the use of wildcards for non-exact matches. Because of these differences, you may want to use advanced search to determine exactly how this information is searched.
Document text searches are always indexed searches, and cannot be performed as non-indexed searches. For other types of indexable searches, see the Operators page for help on using operators to specify indexed versus non-indexed searches, or the page for the specific search type for additional information.
