Searching For Information Within Documents
Text string searches within documents can be performed using the EDB search
function. The search results can be limited so that one or all text strings can be
included in the search results. Searches can be performed across one, several, or
all documents in the Document Library.
To search for one or more text strings select SHOW MENU, SEARCH, and then
NEW SEARCH.
On the search page indicate which documents to search by selecting the check
boxes in the Select Document(s) area. To search all of the documents in the
Document Library, select the Search ALL Documents check box. Select a checked
box to un-check the selection.
Select how a search for multiple text strings is conducted by selecting one of the
following options in the Advanced Options area:
• ALL WORDS – searches document sections for all text strings typed in the
Enter Search Term field. For example, searching for the entry "flaps slats
speed" will return hits where the words flaps, slats, and speed occur in a
document section regardless of order.
• EXACT TERM – searches document sections for the phrase exactly as
typed in the Enter Search Term field. For example “flap retraction speed”.
• ANY WORD – searches document sections for any of the text strings
typed in the Enter Search Term field. For example, the entry "flaps slats
speed" will return hits for every occurrence of "flaps", every occurrence of
“slats” and every occurrence of “speed”.
• WHOLE WORDS – searches for a complete word instead of a partial word
inside a larger word. For example, the entry "speed" will disregard terms
like “airspeed” and “groundspeed”.
In the Enter Search Term field, type the text string(s) to search on. If possible, do
not type “and” or “or” in this field. Use a space to separate multiple text strings.
On the Search Results page a Progress monitor displays in the top center of the
screen displaying the progress of the current search. After the search is complete,
the Progress monitor is removed. The page displays each location that contains the
search term specified. The list can be sorted by number of hits, or location in both
ascending and descending order.
Note: If the search is too large and retrieves many results, selecting CANCEL
SEARCH stops the search and returns to the Search page so the original
search terms can be refined as necessary.
Select from the results list to view its content in the preview window. Search
results display in yellow highlighted text.
Select OPEN DOCUMENT to view the document in the View Content page at the
location of the search term. Search results display in yellow highlighted text.
