Search for a document (IBM FileNet Web Services and Open Client systems
only)
In a library that contains a large number of documents, you can use the Search feature to locate
the document you want.
Use the following steps to find a document in the selected Content Services or IS library.
- In the open library, click Search Mode on the library toolbar.
- Enter the search criteria and, optionally, set the maximum number of documents to return.
- To search by Title, you can enter part of the title and use wildcards, * and ?.
For example, the search text "year*" will find documents with words in the title beginning
with year, such as yearly and years.
The search text "Sm?th" will find both Smith and Smyth.
- To search by words that appear close together in the document, enter the words and the maximum
number of characters that can separate the words (not including spaces and common words). You
can specify if the words are to be in the order you enter or in any order.
For example, enter the search text "exp report", select Words
any order, and set the range to 15. This will find documents with the words:
- expense report
- report of 1999 expenses
- report prepared by the expert witness
- Click Start search on the toolbar to execute the search.
