You can select a Search from GlobalSearch Archives, from the Document Viewer/wiki/spaces/GSW45/pages/1028489320 (if you have File XChange installed). Searches can even be run from your favorite line-of-business applications. Your administrator can add your favorite Searches to the list in your Queues Pane.

Run a Search

Some Searches can basically be divided into two basic types: Static and Variable. Static Searches have the their search criteria preconfigured for youcriteria set for you, while Variable Searches let you set your own criteria. Static Searches are very simple to use, as they will run as soon as you select them. A Default Search , which is (a type of Static Search, ) is even easier to use; just click on the Archive. For other types of Searches, Variable Searches, a search interface appears, where you can enter your search conditions and reach the exact results you need. These are covered in the Enter Search CriteriaUnderstanding Search Conditions, and Understanding Content-Based Searches pages. In general, the more search criteria you include, the more focused your search results will be.

Searches can basically be devided into two basic types: Static and Variable. Static Searches have their search criteria set for you, while Variable Searches let you set your own criteria.be configured in several ways:

  • Static Searches – Use a Static Search for often-repeated Searches; they need no user input, except to run the Search automatically. A Default Search is a form of a Static Search, where the Search is assigned to run as soon as you click on the Archive.

  • Variable Searches – Use a Variable Search when the results should be based on user input. You provide some or all search values in response to a prompt presented by the Search. There are several kinds of Variable Searches. The Browse Search prompts you for each Index Field that existed in the Archive, where you can enter value for one or more of the Fields. This Search gives you a lot of options and is a good choice if you need to browse through more results to find the documents you need. A standard Search could prompt you for one or several Index Fields. They can be set up by your administrator and run by you to get very specific results, with a narrower number of documents. There are many search conditions you can use to tailor your results. 

    Searches may contain preconfigured lists of values in the prompt, to save you typing. These could be in the form of a Pick List, which are
     good for searching using standardized words or phrases (like a company name). They could contain a Dynamic Pick List. When you select a keyword from the primary list, the secondary list is contextual. (For example, first select East Coast Vendors and then select a vendor from the list that only contains vendors on the East Coast instead of the whole country.) They could contain a Type-Ahead Pick List, where you can begin entering your keyword and GlobalSearch will fill in the rest of the word or phrase for you, if you wish (similar to the suggestions provided by a search engine).

  • Static and Variable Searches – Finally, a Search could contain both static and variable criteria. (An example would be a Search where you enter in the customer name (a variable) but only want to see documents that in the PDF file format (a static value).
