Understanding Search Conditions

GlobalSearch features different types of searching conditions, which can be configured to help you narrow down your list of documents to view. The Search name or the prompts in the Search dialog box should help indicate the kind of Search which will be performed.

Type of Search	Enter at the Prompt	Search Results
Contains	Part or all of a word, phrase, or number	Includes what you have entered. For example, if you enter “Square 9” to the search field, the Contains Search will find both “Square 9” and “Square 9 Softworks”
Equals	Characters or numbers, can also use a wildcard asterisk ( * )	Exactly the value you have entered Vary your results with: Use * to creating a “begins with,” “ends with,” or “contains” search. For example, 2016 means “ends with” 2016, 082 means “begins with” 082 and 8 means “contains” 8 at least once anywhere in the Field If a search field prompts for a date, you can use @today to search for documents with current date
Does Not Equal	Characters or numbers which are not entered	Everything except the search value
Greater than or Equal to	A number or date/time (not characters)	Values greater than or equal to the numeric search value or values later than or equal to the chronologic search value
Less than or Equal to	A number or date/time (not characters)	Values less than or equal to the numeric search value or values earlier than or equal to the chronologic search value
Is not Empty	Any characters or numbers	Searches not for specific data, but for the presence of data
Is Empty	Any characters or numbers	Searches for a lack of data
