As part of the Shopper (SHOP) search functionality, described in the "Shopper Search Fields" topic, you can enter a single search value and search against multiple columns on various source data objects. In order to accomplish this, the Catalog Indexing batch job adds a special index to each table that needs to be included in the search. A single index on a table can cover multiple fields, and the syntax for defining this index allows you to be able to index multiple columns for full text searching and then utilize the information for searching. Please refer to the CGI Advantage Financial - Procurement Run Sheets guide for more information.
