This action enables you to store any number of text records against a Collection Name. Each record is saved with a key value. Full text searches can then be performed against the collection. Matching keys and/or text will be returned sorted by search rank. The full text database uses a full text index, allowing for fast retrieval against a large number of records.
Collection Name
Key/text pairs are contained within a Collection. Multiple collections can be used. Collection names can contain letters or numbers only. Key/text pair collections are global to the ThinkAutomation instance (IE: The same collection can be used on all Solutions/Automations).
Operations:
Set
Add a key/text pair within the Collection. Specify the Key and Text (both can contain %variable% replacements). The Assign To variable will receive the key value (or blank if an error occurred). You can use the Add Now button to manually add key/text pairs.
Search
This operation allows you to perform a full text search. Specify the search text in the Search For entry. This can be a %variable%.
The search for text can be multiple words or phrases and can contain boolean operators. Examples:
| Search Text |
Results |
| pricing quote |
Searches for any text containing 'pricing' and 'quote' anywhere in the text. |
| "pricing quote" |
Searches for any text containing the phrase 'pricing quote'. |
| pricing + quote |
Searches for any text containing the phrase 'pricing quote'. |
| quot* |
Searches for any text beginning with 'quot'. |
| pricing NOT quote |
Searches for any text containing 'pricing' and not 'quote'. |
| pricing OR quote |
Searches for any text containing 'pricing' OR 'quote'. |
| pricing AND (quote OR quotation) |
Searches for any text containing pricing and either quote or quotation. |
From the Return list, select:
- Keys : to only return the keys
- Text : to only return the text
- Keys, Text : to return both
If text or keys+text is selected, then you can enable the Highlight Matched Text option. If this option is enabled then matched words in the returned text will be enclosed in <b> and </b> tags.
From the Return As list, select:
- Text : to return text. If 'text' or 'keys, text' is selected for the Return type, then each record will be separated by a single line '---'. When only returning keys, then each key will be returned on a separate line.
- Json : to return Json data.
The Limit entry is used to specify the maximum number of records to return.
Records will be returned in rank order, with the closest matches being returned first.
The Assign To variable will receive the returned results. Use the Test button to test searches.
Delete
This operation will delete a full text record. Specify the Key to delete. The Assign To value will contain the deleted key, or blank if no record was deleted.
Drop
This operation will delete the entire collection.
