I added an autocomplete search field for an oracle text full search but for the autocomplete field, I need to provide a list of values source.

Does anyone know how to provide list of values from oracle text index values? I do not know which CTX table stores the index values.

Also, I need to prevent copy / paste of the full text from results table. Any idea how to achieve it.

The tokens/words are stored in the token_text column of the dr$your_index_name$i domain index table. Please see the demonstration below, where the index name is test_idx, so the tokens are stored in the dr$test_idx$i table.

SCOTT@orcl12c_11gR2> create table test_tab
  2    (test_col  clob)
  3  /

Table created.

SCOTT@orcl12c_11gR2> insert into test_tab (test_col) values (
  2  'I added an autocomplete search field for an oracle text full search but for the autocomplete field, I need to provide a list of values source.

Index created.
