# Full-text search

A full-text search returns entities that contain the words included in the search query, in the same provided order.

You can execute a full-text search across all indexed properties as follows:

```http
GET http://<hostname>/api/entities/query?query=Definition.Name=='M.Asset' AND FullText=='text to search'

```

> [!note]
> The *FullText* search property only supports the **\==** operator, but can be negated.

> [!important]
> Do not use the following characters in a full-text search: `«`, `»`, `÷`, `×`, `¦`, `¤`, `⋇`, or `؉`.
>
> Do not combine special characters and wildcards within the same word. For example, use *invoice re\*ort* instead of *invoice-re\*ort* to ensure consistent results like *invoice-report*.
