@brief queries the fulltext index collection.fulltext(attribute, query)

The fulltext simple query functions performs a fulltext search on the specified attribute and the specified query.

Details about the fulltext query syntax can be found below.

Note: this method is not yet supported by the RocksDB storage engine.

Note: the fulltext simple query function is deprecated as of ArangoDB 2.6. The function may be removed in future versions of ArangoDB. The preferred way for executing fulltext queries is to use an AQL query using the FULLTEXT AQL function as follows:

FOR doc IN FULLTEXT(@@collection, @attributeName, @queryString, @limit)
  RETURN doc
