full text

Entire written content

Full text means the complete, unabridged content of a document rather than a summary, excerpt, or abstract.

In databases and search engines, a full-text search examines every word in a document rather than just titles or keywords: The database offers full-text access to academic journals.

Legal and academic contexts distinguish between full text and citation-only results.
