Search in AGLT2/Dell Web
Search basics
By default a search looks into topic titles, topic texts and form fields
in the current web. Extend your search to "all public webs" to get more results.
Search this site as you are used to with Google:
- Type the words you want to find
- Multiple words are combined:
intranet web service
returns all pages that have the three words anywhere in the page
- Use double quotes for literal search (also known as phrase search) to search the exact words in that exact order, for example
"web service"
- Exclude words using minus signs, for instance:
soap -shampoo
(use double quotes if you want to search for a leading minus sign, like "-nowarn"
)
![TIP TIP](/wiki/pub/System/DocumentGraphics/tip.png)
TIP: to search for all topics that contain
"SOAP"
,
"WSDL"
, a literal
"web service"
, but not
"shampoo"
, write:
soap wsdl "web service" -shampoo
Troubleshooting
"My search returned less than I expected"
Perhaps your search words are listed in the
stop word list and excluded from the results.
Show stop wordsHide stop words a, all, am, an, and, any, as, at, b, be, by, c, d, e, for, from, g, h, how, i, i'm, i.e., in, is, isn't, it, it's, its, j, k, l, m, n, o, of, on, or, p, q, r, s, t, that, that's, the, this, to, u, v, w, was, wasn't, what, what's, when, where, who, who's, will, with, x, y, z
![TIP TIP](/wiki/pub/System/DocumentGraphics/tip.png)
If you want to search for a word in the stop word list, prefix the word with a plus sign
Definitions
Some explanations of used terms.
Keyword search |
Use Google-like queries as in soap "web service" -shampoo ; searches word parts: using the example, topics with "soapsuds" will be found as well, but topics with "shampoos" will be excluded |
Word search |
Identical to keyword but searches whole words: topics with "soapsuds" will not be found, and topics with "shampoos" will not be excluded |
Literal search |
Also known as phrase search; search the exact words in that exact order |
Regular expression search |
Universal way of writing advanced search queries |
Query search |
Extend the search to form fields, parent relationships and file attachment information |
Case sensitive |
By default searches are not case sensitive, so writing "Wiki" or "wiki" will get the same results |
Public webs |
You won't see results from Webs that you don't have access to |
Creating your own search
Go to
advanced search to see your search query translated to a
SEARCH
macro. It will look somewhat like this:
%SEARCH{
"\"stuff I've read\""
type="word"
scope="all"
order="editby"
reverse="on"
limit="10"
zeroresults="on"
}%
You can copy and paste this text to any topic to get show search results on that page.
