The search functionality allows you to execute a quick search using one or more words or a document type. Advanced searches can be performed within a project. Search results include a hyperlink to the found object(s). The search engine incorporates stemming to maximize search results. In other words, when you search for the word "relate," the search will also find documents, emails, discussion topics, and folders with the word "related."
In addition, skip links are available when a screen reader is being used in conjunction with the application or when you are using keyboard navigation. Skip links allow you to skip to the main content on the page.
The following is a partial list of indexed file formats:
- Microsoft Office formats
- Adobe Acrobat .pdf format
- HTML formats, including .htm and .html
- XML formats, including .xml, .xsd, and .xsl
- ASCII .txt format
Exact match searches must be enclosed in quotation marks. For example: "Entering a timesheet". In addition, you can search for content containing Boolean operators, such as AND, OR, and NOT. In Boolean searches, phrases with spaces must be contained in parentheses ( ). For Example (transaction code) AND (last modified).

NOTE:
|
An exact match search (search text enclosed in quotations marks) and a Boolean search (search text with boolean keywords AND, NOT, OR) cannot be executed at the same time. A single search can only be an exact match or a Boolean search.
