free-text search

Free-text search is a method used by search engines or databases to find information based on words or phrases entered by a user, without requiring specific or structured queries. It scans through large amounts of text to identify matches or relevant content, much like typing a question into a search engine. This approach allows users to express their queries naturally, and the system interprets the input to retrieve relevant documents or data. Free-text search is commonly used in websites, digital libraries, and document management systems to facilitate quick and flexible information retrieval.
