 A search table physically represents the search index in Hummingbird. For example, the search index Literature is actually represented in Hummingbird as a table called FUL_LIT. The columns created for the search table are picked up from the Search Result Fields defined for the search engine. You do not need to create a new search table unless you previously created a new search index. If you do create a new search table, the table name and the search engine to which it is related must be specified.  Rules and AssumptionsThere can be only one entry for a search index, search engine combination. Multiple entries will be ignored, and the first entry used. For example, the search index Literature should have only one search table called FUL_LIT for the search engine Hummingbird.  PropertiesTable 9 lists the properties for the Search Table object.
