Use the Search tab to search for a particular type of IBM InfoSphere Enterprise Records entity: record categories, record folders, volumes, or records. Each type of search is customized for its entity type. Record categories, record folders, and volume search pages are almost identical. There are additional search options for records and classified records. For details about specifying the search options for a classified record, see Define and run a search.
The search options that you can choose depend on the search mode, which is Dynamic or Static. For details about the search mode, see Setting search defaults.
On each page, you can specify where you want to search, although messages will remind you that searching in particular folders can result in longer processing times. All pages also allow filtering by class, a maximum results setting, and one or more property criteria that you can change.
For records, you can also limit the search to a particular parent entity and you can search for the content of either the original declared document or text in the record properties.
Search pages are customizable. For example, if you never use filtering or content searches, you can remove those fields. You can configure up to seven search properties and change the maximum number of results.
You can use a search template to search for an entity that matches predefined search criteria. Search templates and stored searches are selectable in IBM InfoSphere Enterprise Records if their application name was set to IBM InfoSphere Enterprise Records. Non-administrative users do not have rights to change the search criteria of search templates.
Searches for records (including search templates) support content-based searches for specific words or phrases. You can choose whether the text should appear in the metadata (record properties) or the content of the document that was declared. This feature depends upon proper configuration of the search engine.
