Content conditionsA content search returns documents that contain the text you specify. To do this, the documents must have been indexed. Check with your system administrator to see if documents in your object stores are indexed. The results can be ranked if you choose that option in the Search Designer options. A content search finds words and phrases in the content of a document or its properties or both, depending on how your object store components are indexed. If the properties are indexed, your administrator determines which properties go into the indexed collection. Property values must be formatted as text strings, not as numbers or dates. You do not specify the location of the text (content or properties). If the words appear in either area, the search finds the document. See Select object type for tips on creating Content searches. NOTE
For content searches, you complete the View, Words/Phrases, and Modifiers columns. (If you don't choose a modifier, "None" is entered by default.) For search templates, you can leave the Words/Phrases column blank (unless View is set to Hidden or Read Only). See View Column for definitions of each View option. Words/Phrases columnEnter one or more words in the Words/Phrases column. The words can contain special characters. Search for a single wordSimply entering one word as your search criteria causes the search engine to find various forms of that word (stemmed variations). You can disable stemming and require matching capitalization using double quotes, look for patterns using * as a wildcard character, or exclude a word using ! at the beginning. See samples in the following table.
Search for word combinationsWhen you enter two or more words, you can specify a relationship between those words.
NOTE
Using Autonomy K2 Query LanguageIf you know the Autonomy K2 query language, you can enter the complete structured query in the Words/Phrases field and choose the query language as the modifier. Your text will be passed to the Autonomy K2 search engine without checking or modification of any kind. You will need to know how your collections are configured so you use only the appropriate operators. Using logical operatorsAnother way to specify relationships between words is to enter search terms using two or more rows in the grid. Then specify AND or OR as the logical operator between the rows. Enter conditions in the appropriate order so you can specify the proper relationships (AND or OR) between contiguous rows. If necessary, use the Insert a Row and Delete a Row buttons, along with copy and paste, to move existing rows. To specify the relationship between contiguous rows, highlight them and click the And or Or buttons. See Condition relationships. Also see the text to the right on Multiple words or multiple rows. Common (Stop) wordsBy default, the search engine does not look for certain common words, called Stop Words. When the index is built, the stop words are not added to the collection so they can never be found. If one or more words in your search requires a stop word, such as when you use the All or Near modifiers or the AND operator between lines, the search will fail, because these words will never appear in the index. See Autonomy K2 Stop Words for a list of these words. |
