To perform a search through the content of your resources, open the Open/Find
Resources dialog box or the Open/Find Resource view,
enable the in content option, and in the search field enter the terms
that you want to search for.
The Open/Find Resource feature is powered by Apache Lucene.
Apache Lucene is a free open source information retrieval software library.
You can use the Open/Find Resource dialog box and the
Open/Find Resource view either to perform a simple text search or to
perform a more complex search using the Apache Lucene - Query Parser Syntax. Using the Apache Lucene - Query Parser Syntax means you can
perform any of the following searches:
Term Searches
Use the
Open/Find Resource view or dialog box to search for plain
text:
Garden Preparation
Element Specific Searches
Use the
Open/Find Resource view or dialog box to search for content
that belongs to a specific element:
title:"Garden Preparation"
Wildcard Searches
Use wildcards to make your search more
permissive:
Garden Prepar?tion
Fuzzy Searches
If you are not sure of the exact form of a term that you are interested in, use the fuzzy
search to find the terms that are similar to what you introduce in the
Open/Find
Resource view or dialog box. To perform a fuzzy search, use the
~ symbol after the word that you are not sure
of:
Garden Preparing~
Proximity Searches
Use proximity searches to find words that are within a specific distance away. To perform a
proximity search, use the
~ symbol at the end of your search. For example,
to search for the word
Garden and the word
Preparation within 6
words of each other use:
"Garden Preparation"~6
Range Searches
Use range searches to match documents whose element values are between the lower and upper
bound specified in the range query. For example, to find all documents whose titles are
between Iris and Lilac, use:
The curly brackets denote an exclusive query. The results you get when using this query are
all the documents whose titles are between
Iris and
Lilac, but not
including
Iris and
Lilac. To create an inclusive query use square
brackets:
title:[Iris to Lilac]
Term Prioritising Searches
Use term prioritising searches if the fragment of text that you are searching for contains
certain words that are more important to your search than the rest of them. For example, if
you are searching for
Autumn Flowers, a good idea is to prioritise the word
Autumn since the word
Flowers occurs more often. To prioritise a
word use the
^ symbol:
Autumn^6 Flowers
Searches Using Boolean Operators
You are able to use the AND, +,
OR, -, and NOT
operators.
To search for documents that contain both the words
Garden and
Preparation, use:
Garden AND Preparation
To search for documents that must contain the word
Garden and may contain the
word
Preparation, use:
+Garden Preparation
To search for documents that contain either the word
Garden or the word
Preparation, use:
Garden OR Preparation
To search for documents that contain
Garden Preparation but not
Preparation of the Flowers,
use:
"Garden Preparation" - "Preparation of the Flowers"
Searches Using Grouping
To search either for the word
Garden or
Preparation, and the word
Flowers, use:
(Garden OR Preparation) AND Flowers
Searches Using Element Grouping
To search for a title that contains both the word
Flowers and the phrase
Garden Preparation,
use:
title:(+Flowers +"Garden Preparation")
