Access to and utilization of `fulltext`

[bobmeetin]

Looking at the database joomla includes a fulltext field in the *****_content table. I've looked through category and article options trying to figure out how to get access to write to it, as well as presentation. If it's there it's not obvious. Am I missing the secret handshake and/or can someone point me in the right direction, even if it means installing another component?

RSFormPro has an excellent database mapping function which you can use within a custom form to post data to #__content -> column fulltext. It also shows all the columns associated with the table so you can insert to all columns, and it will auto increment the entry ID

Thank you. I use RS Form Pro, have for years, but would really like to know what, why, what's brewing with fulltext. K2 has a similar function and in the options/configuration you are able to select whether to enable/disable `fulltext` and are rewarded with presentation on the frontend. Here it's mysterious.
