Using full-text queries

There are four types of full-text searches: All Words, Any Words, Exact Phrase, and Expression. The thesaurus feature enables you to search for words that are related to the search criteria. It contains a list of synonyms or keys for possible words to be used in a search. You can also query for different versions of a document.

For information about the thesaurus feature, see the OpenText Documentum xPlore Administration and Development Guide.

To use the full-text query criteria:

In the New Search page, select a Search Type for the full-text query.
Type the search criteria.
Select Thesaurus to search for synonyms.

ApplicationXtender Web Access searches the thesaurus for synonyms or keys for words in the search criteria.

Note: This option is available only when the xPlore full-text engine is used to submit documents to the full-text database. For more information, see the ApplicationXtender Administration Guide.
If you want to run the query without saving it for future use, click RUN.
If the query retrieves only one document that includes the search criteria, the document opens in Document Viewer. Otherwise, you can select a document from the Query Results page, which lists the documents that include the search criteria.

The Document Viewer opens to the page that includes the first instance of the search criteria, or hit. Each hit in the page is highlighted. Also, a Full-Text Search Results pop-up window indicates the number of hits on the current page and the total number of hits in the document. The pop-up window also enables you to move between the pages that include hits.

Note: For unsupported files, the Document Viewer opens to the page that includes the first instance of the search criteria and the Full-Text Search Results pop-up window, however, the hits are not highlighted.
If you want to run the query at any time, click SAVE.
1. In the Save dialog box, specify a name for the query.
2. Select Available to all users to share the query with other users.
3. Click SAVE.
The query is saved under the relevant application and in the navigation panel.

Note:

If the full-text search option is All Words, Any Words, or Exact Phrase, the characters &@#$%^_~`:-+=\/\[]{}!,;() in the full-text search criteria are replaced with a blank space. Quotation marks or single quotation marks must appear in pairs in the search criteria.
If the full-text search option is Expression, the characters &@#$%^_~`:-+=\/\[]{}!,; in the full-text search criteria are replaced with a blank space.
