+:link: guide:objects-basics
+:link-type: ref
+:class-footer: text-smaller
+
+CrateDB’s `OBJECT` data type allows to store and analyze complex and nested data
+efficiently. It can optionally be strict or dynamic, thus schemaless.
+
+The tutorial explores analyzing marketing data, therefore it also outlines another
+feature of CrateDB, supporting destructuring URLs by using generated columns.
++++
+CrateDB's document store is based on Lucene indexes, exactly how Elasticsearch
+is doing it.

+:link: guide:search-basics
+:link-type: ref
+:class-footer: text-smaller
+CrateDB's `TEXT INDEX USING FULLTEXT` SQL DDL clause sets up a full-text index
+on a column. The `MATCH` SQL predicate is used for querying it.
+
+The tutorial explores the Netflix Catalog, exercising FTS features on relevant data.
++++
+CrateDB's full-text search is based on Lucene's inverted index and BM25 scoring.

+:class-footer: text-smaller
+CrateDB provides enhanced features for querying time series data.
+
+Run aggregations with gap filling / interpolation, using common
+table expressions (CTEs) and LAG / LEAD window functions.
+
+Find maximum values using the MAX_BY aggregate function, returning
+the value from one column based on the maximum or minimum value of another
+column within a group.
+
+The tutorial analyzes data from synoptic weather observations.
++++
+Advanced queries on time series data: CrateDB is all you need.
