7.2.1 Full text search

If you do not want to search for your documents and pages on the basis of keywords in the fields but want to search the entire text of all pages, then make use of the full text search possibility.

The little window serving this special purpose is to be found in the upper right corner of the search dialog box.

Please note the following features of the full text search:

  • There is no distinction between upper and lower case
  • You can look for parts of words by adding an asterisk to a word; man*, for example, finds 'mandarin' as well as 'manager'
  • An asterisk at the beginning of the search term is ignored; *man does not find 'Hopeman'
  • A Boolean 'AND' can be achieved by first entering the one and then the other search term, e.g. word writing. This search returns all pages on which 'word' and 'writing' are to be found
  • You can enter expressions in between quotes; "Berlin Wall" finds all pages in which exactly this expression appears.

Image tip The full text search can only come up with results if the documents and pages are actually available in full text. If in doubt, please ask your system administrator.
