FileNet Web Services provides a standard search template that you can use to find CS documents. You can search for documents by title, document type, item ID, user who added the document. If a document has been indexed, you can search for words and phrases in the content. CS libraries support content searching for the following document types:
From the Search page or a search window, you can also select and execute stored searches and search templates created by your web administrator. Refer to Overview of stored searches and search templates for more information on executing and completing those searches.
On the Browse page, click to access the Search page or click to open a new search window.
Enter the appropriate search criteria or click the Search arrow to select additional stored searches or search templates from the Search list. When you click a field that has a drop-down list, an arrow appears, where you can select criteria.
Notes
Use the Words in order/Words any order field to enter the text you want to use for search criteria. You can enter a maximum of 32 characters.
Select Words in order
if you want to search for words in the exact order that you entered them,
or select Words any order
if you want to search for the words in any order.
When searching CS 5.2 libraries, the Range sets the maximum number
of characters that can come between the words. When searching CS 5.3 libraries,
the Range sets the maximum number of words that can come between
the words. Spaces are ignored. For example, if searching for the phrase
"best techniques" on a CS 5.2 library, suppose that you enter
a range of 10. The phrase "best authoring techniques" would allow
this document to be found because there are only 9 characters in the word
"authoring" and the spaces do not count. If you use a range of
8, the document will not be found.
Use the asterisk (*) and question mark (?) wild card characters, where the asterisk represents a variable number of characters (0 – n) and the question mark represents a single character. Searches on words or phrases are not case sensitive.
If appears next to a search criteria field, you must enter information in that field. The red diamond means the field requires information and the field must be completed before you can execute the search. After you enter valid information, the X is removed.
If an X appears next to any of the fields you are completing, it means you are not entering valid information or the information is missing. Verify you are entering accurate information.
You cannot search for stop words such as the, and, or of.
Click to execute the search immediately. If you select a stored search, the search is executed immediately and this button is unavailable.
Click to get a count on matches before running the search. You cannot use Search Count when searching on document content. You also cannot get a match count before running stored searches.
If you want to limit the search to a maximum number of matches, enter that value in Maximum Results.
FileNet Web Services executes the search and returns the list of documents that match the search criteria. You can perform a variety of operations on these documents.
