Simple tables (as opposed to extended tables, parameter tables and directory tables) store every entry as a string, meaning that there are no columns, or fields. Simple tables do support searching (see the FIND, QUERY, and SET table FIND commands), as well as tagging. The show and write format, if set, have no relevance for simple tables, though.
For a thorough introduction into the matter of table items, see Introducing Table Items.
