        Execute text query on database. Results have a text-based

        index.

        By default, the search is executed on all of the indexed fields as an
        OR conjunction. For example, if a model has 'title' and 'content'
        indicated as ``__searchable__``, a query will be checked against both
        fields, returning any instance whose title or content are a content
        match for the query. To specify particular fields to be checked,
        populate the ``fields`` parameter with the desired fields.

        By default, results will only be returned if they contain all of the
        query terms (AND). To switch to an OR grouping, set the ``or_``
        parameter to ``True``.
