Understanding Search Conditions

GlobalSearch features different types of searching conditions, which can be configured to help you narrow down your list of documents to view. The Search name or the prompts in the Search dialog box should help indicate the kind of Search which will be performed. 


Type of SearchEnter at the PromptSearch Results

Contains

Part or all of a word, phrase, or number

Includes what you have entered. For example, if you enter “Square 9” to the search field, the Contains Search will find both “Square 9” and “Square 9 Softworks”

Equals

Characters or numbers, can also use a wildcard asterisk ( * )

Exactly the value you have entered

Vary your results with:

  • Use * to creating a “begins with,” “ends with,” or “contains” search. For example, *2016 means “ends with” 2016, 082* means “begins with” 082 and *8* means “contains” 8 at least once anywhere in the Field
  • If a search field prompts for a date, you can use @today to search for documents with current date
