String Type vs. Text Type

[Jonathan Rosen]

Can you explain the differences between these two. The developer docs mention that Text type can be of arbitrary length, but doesn't specify the length limit on string values. Can you explain the specific difference between these?

Thanks,

Jonathan

TextTypes are stemmed and tokenized before being added to the full text index. StringTypes are added without modification. If there is a value you want to filter/facet on you should use a StringType.
