This paper explores the IBM Db2 for i indexing technology — the IBM OmniFind Text Search Server. This paper introduces you to the OmniFind text-indexing technology and how it compares with traditional database index technologies. In addition, the paper discusses how applications that are developed in any language can use SQL to perform text searches against simple text data stored in Db2 databases, business data encapsulated in XML documents, and data stored in rich-text document formats such as Adobe PDF or Microsoft Word.
