Description
An alias was added a while back that aliased FTS to INVERTED. However, it never worked and we ended up reverting it. However, it seems there are still references to it in documentation and lance-ray (https://github.com/lance-format/lance-ray/blob/main/lance_ray/index.py). We should either correctly implement the alias or fully remove all references.

Research direction
Review the documentation reference in issue #5314 and lance_ray/index.py, then locate the current FTS/INVERTED references in the repository. Decide whether the project should support the alias or remove it everywhere, and verify that the documentation and Python integration consistently reflect the chosen behavior.
