Advanced Search Methods

Tips and tricks for advanced level searching of infinitrac

Using wildcard characters in a search

• To perform a single character wildcard search, use the "?" symbol. For example, to search for "text" or "test" you can search for: te?t. Single character searches are only supported for single term searches, not quoted phrases.

• To perform a multiple character wildcard, use the "*" symbol. For example, to search for test, tests, tester or testing, you can search for test*.

• ? or * or both can be used at any place of the search terms. Searching for *wr?t* will return results for: "write", "wrote", "written", "rewrite", "rewrote" and so on.

Searching Specific Attributes
Instead of using the default search method which includes all attributes and content, you may specify the area(s) you wish to include in your search. You may find this method helpful if you know the attribute you are looking for is also referenced within the content of other files.

• title: “The Right Way" will only return documents with the title attribute of "The Right Way".

• file_id: "1234" will only return documents with the file ID of "1234"

• original_filename: "User Guide" will only return documents with the original filename containing "User Guide"
