As someone who worked in R&D and post-sales support of the world's best free text search engines (3rip and Trip) for nearly three decades I dispute that claim. If anything the claim is exactly the opposite that a database based on either relational theory is the one not guaranteed to return you the required information all other things being equal. However even if you're comparing a relational database to Google or some other pauper's full text system then I think you are still wrong.
