Texts

Text type properties are used for long, textual documentation attached to entities, such as the Document:bodyText of a Document or the Thing:notes describing a Thing.

Backends should use full search text indexing to handle text fields.

followthemoney.types.TextType

Bases: StringType

Longer text fragments, such as descriptions or document text. Unlike string properties, it might make sense to treat properties of this type as full-text search material.
