KnowledgeTree Search

An important function of your electronic document management system is the ability to efficiently and quickly find any documents and folders added by all KnowledgeTree users in your organization, provided you have the required permissions to access the content you're looking for.

KnowledgeTree provides a powerful search mechanism with various options for searching the system and finding relevant content.

Note: The procedures documented in this manual allow you to run a variety of searches through KnowledgeTree's Web interface. For information on searches performed through the KnowledgeTree client tools, see the KnowledgeTree Client Tools User Guide.

•	run a quick (simple) search on content and metadata, or on metadata only

•	set up advanced searches, comprising one or more sets of criteria that you can configure through a user-friendly advanced search configuration page

•	set up your own complex and detailed search expressions, using an onscreen search criteria editor and KnowledgeTree's search grammar

•	define how your search results display by toggling the search results view on the search drop down menu

•	Search results include document and folders, and any shortcuts to documents and folders that match specified search criteria.

•	Search results exclude words less than 4 characters, e.g. 'the', 'for'

•	Displayed results are permission-based - you need at least the 'read' permission on returned items

•	Search relies on data extracted during indexing

•	By default, search results do not included archived and/or deleted documents. To include archived and/or deleted documents in search results, include the following search criteria in an advanced search: isdeleted, isarchived.

Access to search is provided through KnowledgeTree's web interface Search portlet, which is located at the top right of the page in all sections of the document management system interface. The search portlet comprises a text entry field, a search button, and a drop down menu with the following options:

•	Quick Search Options - includes the following sub menu items: 'content and metadata', and 'metadata'

•	Toggle search results format - define how results display. Options are: search engine format, and Browse view format
