Dear all,

when i init graph setting handleMultival: to "ARRAY", and set multivalPropList: to specific property like rdfs:label , then do full text search index on rdfs:label property , db.fultext.index.queryNode procedure return nothing on index i made, but if i set handleMultiVal to "OVERWRITE" and make index on rdfs:label , full text query works just fine.

my question is how can i figure out this issue?  
Thanks

fulltext indexes do operate only on string properties and not on string array properties. Maybe you want to concatenate all the array contents into one large string and index that one?
