-
- 'TextIndex' -- Breaks text up into individual words, and are often refered to as full-text
- indexes. Text indexes sort results by score meaning they return 'hits' in
- order from the most relevant to the lest relevant.

- Index will return any objects that have one or more keywords specified in a
- search query.
