Abstract
Full text searching may be made available for resources stored in a database according to a database schema. A method for conducting a search on structured data using a text search engine includes the steps of: modeling a resource stored in a relational data store as a web page; providing a locator to the resource; and providing the resource in a consumable format to the text search engine. The method may include the additional steps of: receiving a search on the resource; converting the search into a converted query consumable by the search engine; and providing the converted query to the search engine.
