Perform AllegroGraph freetext queries.

This magic property can be used in several ways: 

?subject fti:match 'queryPhrase' .

will perform a freetext query for 'queryPhrase' and bind ?subject to the subject of each triple found. 

(?subject ?textObject) fti:match 'queryPhrase' .

will act as the first does but will also bind ?textObject to the object of the triples found.

You can also supply a third binding on the subject side of the magic property which will be bound to the predicate of each matching triple. For example,

(?s ?text ?predicate) fti:match 'phrase' .

will bind ?s to each matching subject, ?text to each matching object, and ?predicate to each matching predicate.

fti:match also supports an additional argument on the object side that specifies which index to search. For example: 

?subject fti:match ( 'queryPhrase' 'indexName' ) .

and 

(?subject ?textObject) fti:match ( 'queryPhrase' 'indexName' ) .

and 

(?subject ?textObject ?predicate) fti:match ( 'queryPhrase' 'indexName' ) .

will perform a freetext search for 'queryPhrase' using only the specified index.

Note that fti:match will parse the queryPhrase and return all triples that match the resulting query. For example, these two queries will return the same results: 

select ?s { ?s fti:match 'only going' . }


select ?s { ?s fti:match 'going only' . }

and both will return bindings for ?s from triples whose objects contain the words "only" and "going". See (cf. http://franz.com/ns/allegrograph/6.5.0/parseFreetextQuery or freetext-parse-query for details on how strings are parsed into complete freetext indexing expressions.)

See fti:matchExpression if you need to execute more sophisticated queries.
