It would most closely match  the example with the contains selector i guess.
The point in the fullText selector is that it is weakly defined. It can do
more elaborate matching than the straight contains selector. Some
implementations could incur some level of fuzziness or something.

Maybe the fullText description should stress this. Something like:

"Search in everything that makes sense and match to the best of the engines
ability. The most basic matching would be equivalent to the contains
selector, but more elaborate matching, fx via fuzzyness, is also allowed."

I will put up an example of vendor.extensions usage.


Cheers,
Mikkel
