Type the text to search for. Simple search looks for the
text at the beginning of the document title or folder name. You can
search for documents, folders, or both by selecting the appropriate
options. You must select at least one option.
Note: In Workplace
XT, if you are using a screen reader and close a search error message,
the reader's focus on the selected item or field you were initially
reading prior to the error message is lost.
If you are not
sure of the spelling or other variation used in the document you are
searching for, you can use wildcard characters in your search text.
The following tips provide more information.
- Use a percent sign (%) to stand for zero or more characters. For
example, searching for IBM® FileNet® P8%Guide could find
documents called IBM FileNet P8 Troubleshooting Guide and IBM FileNet P8 Security Guide 4.5.0.
Note: Although
you can use a percent sign at the beginning of your search text, doing
so causes search to look through the entire search index for the object
store. If the index is large, search could take a long time to return
results.
- Use an underscore (_) to stand for a single character. For example,
searching for r_n finds documents or folders whose name contains ran or run,
but not rain. You cannot, however, include an underscore in
your search text as a literal, because search automatically treats
the underscore as a wildcard character. For example, searching for
all folders that start with Folder_ would return results such
as FolderA as well as Folder_1 and Folder_2.
