This section describes how to use the Admin Interface to create and configure fields in the database settings. Fields are used with the cts:field-word-query, cts:field-words, and cts:field-word-match APIs, as well as with the field lexicon APIs, and allow you to define a named field consisting of several elements over which you can search. For details on how to create and configure fields programmatically, see Adding a Database Field and Included Element in the Scripting Administrative Tasks Guide. For details on lexicons on fields, see Browsing With Lexicons in the Search Developer’s Guide.
