TIP: The search does not take upper and lower case into account.

Table 5: Rules with examples for searching in the Web Portal
|
Sam User |
Finds Sam User but not Sam Identity.
Search results must contain all of the separate terms in the query. A logical AND is used. |
|
Sam OR Identity |
Finds Sam User and Pat Identity.
Placing OR between the search terms acts as a logical OR operator. The results of this search contain at least one of the two search terms. |
|
Sam NOT User |
Finds Sam Identity but not Sam User.
The results of this search do not contain the term that comes after NOT. |
|
U* |
Finds User1 and User2.
The * functions as a wildcard for any number of characters to complete the term. |
|
Use? |
Finds User but not User1.
The ? functions as a wildcard for a single character to complete the term. |
|
"Sam User" |
Provides results in which the search terms Sam and User follow one another.
Results of this search contain the string in quotes as phrase. |
|
Sam User~ |
Finds Sam User and also other similar results. A tilde ~ after the search term indicates that the search should also find similar results. This means that incorrectly spelled terms can be found, as well.
You can specify the level of similarity by adding a number between 0 and 1 (with decimal point) after the tilde ~. The higher the number, the more similar the results. |
