# Textual fields
Textual fields capture string-based data in your content models from simple one-line titles to richly formatted articles. Use these field types to collect and validate any text-centric content.

A **Text** field stores plain or multi-line text—ideal for titles, short descriptions, comments, or any unformatted strings.

* *Internal Field Name*: This field is auto-populated based on the Field Name.
* *Enable Search for this field*: Enable this option to allow search on the data stored in this field, i.e., if you tick this option, then the field data will appear in the search.
