QUICK REFERENCE SHEET – FULL TEXT & BATCH SEARCH Full Text Search ➢ Searches for words or phrases contained in the text of the document. ➢ Predicate options as follows: o With all of the words – this predicate ANDs all words entered in the search box ▪ Words need to be separated by a space ▪ Ex. apple banana orange pear will be interpreted as apple AND banana AND orange AND pear ▪ Ex. “mickey mouse” disney will be interpreted as “mickey mouse” AND Disney ▪ Ex. “donald duck” w/5 scrooge disney will be interpreted as “donald duck” w/5 scrooge AND disney o With at least one of the words – this predicate ORs all words entered in the search box ▪ Words need to be separated by a space ▪ Ex. apple banana orange pear will be interpreted as apple OR banana OR orange OR pear ▪ Ex. “mickey mouse” disney will be interpreted as “mickey mouse” OR Disney ▪ Ex. “donald duck” w/5 scrooge disney will be interpreted as “donald duck” w/5 scrooge OR disney o Without the words – this predicate is the same as using NOT in front of the words entered in the search box ▪ Words need to be separated by space. ▪ Ex. without the words apple banana orange pear = does not contain apple OR banana OR orange OR pear ➢ You must use single or double quotes around a phrase for it to be highlighted as a phrase within the text of the document. E.g. “mickey and mouse” will highlight the phrase “mickey and mouse” within the text of the document. ➢ You cannot search characters such as / or & in the full text search. ➢ Search is not case sensitive. Special syntax is as follows: o Exact Phrase – use quotes. For example, “manual selection” will find and highlight both words together in a document. o Single Character Wildcard (?) – to match any single character, enter the ? in its place. For example, te?t returns test, text etc. o Multiple Character Wildcard (*) - to match multiple characters, enter the * in its place. For example, “tes*” returns “test, testing, tester” etc. Another example, “m*n” returns “men, man, median, mean, moon” etc. o Fuzzy (%) - to match similar terms, enter % before the term. For example, “%curency” returns “currency”. o Proximity (w/#) - to match words within a specific number of words, use word1 w/# word2. For example, “United w/1 States” will bring back documents in which United is within one word of States. NOTE: w/0 searches for words directly next to each other. o Stemming (~) - To match similar terms and pluralities, enter ~ before the term. For example, “~apple” returns “apples”. More information about full text searching can be found on page 11 of the Search User Guide. 1 Batch Search (Lucene Syntax) Batch search allows the end user to import a large list of full text search terms from any text file into the search box. NOTE: These search terms are OR’d. All terms need to be on a separate line (row) of the text file. To upload the terms (text file) click on “Add Batch Search Element” and a browse dialog will appear. Browse and select the text file and click “Upload”. The search criteria will show the number of search terms in the text file and the name of the file that you uploaded. Predicate options are contains/does not contain. Once the search has been run you can come back to the search page and the “# search terms” will now be red linked. By clicking on the red linked wording, a dialog will open to show the user the search terms (shown above). NOTE: Special syntax can be used in batch search but is different syntax than full text search (as follows). Stemming is not currently supported in batch search. 2 .
