General

The results are displayed in the Search work area in the form of search view filters. A new search view filter is created for every search query, which can be called up any number of times via the button. The search view filters remain in place until the client is closed. Use the Delete view filter function to remove an existing search view filter from the Search work area.

Information: For the iSearch, only the short name is preset as the search area for the fields searched. If you also want to search the full text, the index fields, the notes or the version comment and the version number, you need to activate these options in the Fields searched drop-down menu.

iSearch

The iSearch is the standard search for the ELO Java Client. This search uses special search algorithms that make searching easier and more convenient.

iSearch offers the following functions:

• AutoComplete
• AutoCorrect
• Linking search terms
• Searches independent of the word form
• Filtering hits by meta data
• Found text highlighting
• Searching for alternative terms

Search filters

You can use different search filters to restrict your search in a specific way. You can find the search filters on the Search tools/Search tab in the ribbon. All currently activated search filters are displayed below the search field. Several filters are already selected by default.

Select the filter settings you require from the drop-down menu. You can see at a glance how many hits there are for each filter setting. For example, for the Date search filter, you see how many documents are located in the repository that date between 2010 and 2014.

You can combine the search filters at will. To remove the search filter, simply click the corresponding button on the ribbon again.

Keywording search

In addition to the iSearch, you can also use the keywording search. The keywording search is restricted to the search in the index fields in the keywording forms. You can find the keywording search on the Search tools/Search tab in the ribbon.

The Search search form is used by default. You can either perform a search via the short name or via all index fields. There are additional filters for the keywording search on the Options tab.

Favorites

You can also store a search as a favorite. This saves time when you perform the same search regularly. You can find the Favorites function on the Search tools/Search tab in the ribbon. Use the Favorites function to call the search for a favorite, add new favorites and manage your favorites.

If you want to trigger the search as soon as you click a favorite, you can enable the Start search immediately when clicking a search favorite option. This option is located in the Configuration dialog box under Ribbon > ELO > Configuration > Technical presets > Display and refresh).

You can also display a favorite in the ribbon. Right-click the favorite and select Show on the ribbon. To remove a favorite from the ribbon, right-click the button for the favorite and select Remove from ribbon.
