      Advanced Search - Usage and Syntax

      Advanced Search allows users to search within reports or across the entire library with both interactive content and attachment downloads

      Read this article to understand how to:

      • Improve sales by empowering users to efficiently discover relevant content.

      • Cross-sell more reports by presenting users with content outside of their current subscription.

      • Make searching for the most pertinent information a swift and easy process for users.

      Advanced Search allows users to search within reports or across the entire library with interactive content and attachment downloads. Users can search by keyword (supports common search syntax) and filter results by content, license and report type, report age and category. 

      Advanced Search - Usage and Sync - 1

      Usage and syntax

      The search supports the following: 

      Function

      How it Works

      Keyword

      Enter a single word for a basic search.

      Any Word

      Entering a phrase under 'any word' will search for any word in that phrase.   

            

      E.g 'Christmas pudding' will return results for 'Christmas' and 'pudding'. The top results will be content with the largest number of matches.

      All Words

      This will only return results using all words, but this can be in any order. 

       

      E.g 'Food and drink' will include results for 'food and drink', 'drink and food' and so on. 

      Exact Term

      Enclosing a search term in quotation marks performs an exact term search (no stemming).

       

      E.g. [“walk”] (also [+walk]) will return results for ‘walk’ only, not for ‘walks’, ‘walking’, ‘walker’ etc.

      Exact Phrase

      Putting quotation marks around a phrase will search for the exact phrase only.

       

      E.g. ["high voltage"] will return results such as 'a very high voltage' but not 'the voltage needs to be high'.

      OR

      Will return results for one or both search terms.

       

      E.g. [milk OR eggs] (also [milk|eggs]) will search for 'milk' OR 'eggs'.

      AND

      By default, all searches are performed using AND.

       

      E.g. [milk eggs] (also [milk AND eggs]) will return results containing both 'milk' AND 'eggs'.

      NOT

      Exclude results that contain certain terms.

       

      E.g. [milk NOT eggs] (also [milk -eggs]).
