Using Keywords
You can define the input for the keyword search in the following ways:
A keyword search consists of 1-n search keywords. Multiple keywords are space separated. If multiple keywords are given, a logical disjunction (OR) is implied.
A keyword is treated as partial text which can occur at the beginning of the searched strings. The
starts with semantics are implied.
Example: If the keyword is customer, then the following matches are returned: A sample svc for customers as well as customerservice.
As multiple keywords are OR combined, the keywords can match a single phrase (for example, in the description) or individual keywords can occur in different attributes.
Example: If a search is conducted for customer service, then customer could be matched in the description and service in an object specific attribute.
If quotes (" ") exist around a phrase, then a search is performed on the exact phrase within the quotes. A space within a quoted phrase is considered as a space character and not as a logical operation.
You can mix and match any number of words and quoted phrases within the keyword field.
The search is neither case nor accent sensitive, even within a quoted phrase.
Example: A search for abc will return the same results as a search for ABC or Abc.
If you enter a string that contains an odd number of double-quote characters, then the last double-quote character is ignored when the search is performed.
If the keyword search input field is empty when the search is executed, the search returns all available assets.
The keyword search can include wildcard characters. See
Using Wildcards for details.
