Defining folder search criteria

The Search user preference settings determine the default criteria displayed in the Simple Search page. Depending on which fields you choose to show on the search page, you can change default values at the time of the search. You can also click the Change button on the search page to change the default settings temporarily.

To define folder search preference criteria:

  1. Click Preferences in the upper right corner.
  2. In the User Preferences page, click Search from the list of views.
  3. Click Folder from the list of Search views.
  4. Select an object store to search.
    • If you have not defined any folder search criteria, a list of object stores is displayed. Click an object store name to select it. The search will only look in a single object store. The General Settings and Property Criteria Settings are displayed after you select an object store.
    • If you want to change the selected object store, click Object Stores in the Path. A list of object stores is displayed. Click an object store name to select it.
  5. Select the appropriate General Settings.
    1. To specify a Default Filter Class for a search, click Select Class and select a specific class. Click Clear Class to remove the class that was selected. You can change the default on the Search page if you show the filter class.
    2. To include subclasses of the selected class, select Include subclasses. You can change this on the Search page if you show the filter class.
    3. To display a Filter by Class field on the Search page, select Show from the Show Filter Class drop-down list.
    4. To specify the maximum number of items returned in the search results, enter a number. The default is 100.
  6. Select the appropriate Property Criteria Settings. You can display and search on up to 5 properties in the Search page. The properties available depend upon the selected object store.
    1. Select the desired Property Name from the drop-down list.
    2. Select the desired Operator for each property.
    3. Select either AND or OR to specify the relationship between the current property and the next. For example, if both the first and the second property must be true, select AND for the first property.
  7. Click Apply to save your changes.
  8. Click Exit to close the User Preferences page.
