You can use search to find documents, text in a document,
applications, and people. You can also set search preferences for
type of search query syntax and scope of search.
Two types of search query syntax available
for searching a view
Two types of search query syntax are
available for multiple term searches:
- Notes® style - is equivalent to enclosing the
terms within quotation marks so that a search would return documents
with an exact match of the words in the order they were entered in
the search field.
- Web style - The default, treats multiple terms as though the AND
operator connects them. Documents returned would have all the terms
but not necessarily in the order they were entered.
Search appears at the
top-right of the tool bar and has the following features:
- The three dots on the left of the Search drop-down menu indicate
that the search bar is movable and draggable within the tool bar.
- An icon representing the currently selected scope also displays
in the left of the Search field.
- Clicking the drop-down arrow activates the Scope drop-down menu,
which allows you to pick a collection of content to search.
- The Search field where you enter a search query initially displays
a grey "ghost text" label indicating the current scope. If you set
focus in the text field, the "ghost text" scope disappears.
- As you begin typing a search query, a list containing previous
searches starting with the entered characters unfurls.
- A Recent Searches list displays along the left side of each results
tab page showing recent search queries and their scopes. Both scope
and search query are saved and displayed. The default number of recent
searches displayed is 25. The list is sorted with most recent on top.
Clicking the link or icon in the Recent Searches list will submit
the search in the saved scope.
- Web search engines enable you to launch a search from within Notes.
Results are returned in the embedded browser or in your default browser,
according to your Web Browser preferences.
Using Scopes
Scopes
are the names of collections of searchable content. The default scope
that initially displays will be the All scope of whichever tab page
is currently open. For example, if your Mail tab is active, the "All
Mail" scope would be visible and its name would display as ghost text
in the Search entry field.
Clicking the triangle next to the
Search icon opens the Search scope drop-down menu. In addition to
the All Mail, All Calendar, and All Contacts scopes, you might see:
- Web Search engines that return results on a tab page in Notes.
- Search Domain -- search for applications or documents across your
organization.
- Find People -- find contact names or Internet e-mail addresses.
- Find Application -- find an application using a server catalog.
