The full text search engine understands the user’s input, searches the entered search text or a keyword, and displays the most suitable results. The End User Dashboard search box works as follows:
User Input | Logic |
---|---|
Knowledge Records | The entered keyword or user input is searched in the Question, Answer, and Keywords fields of the Knowledge Records and displays the Knowledge Records that contain the maximum number of matched characters or word. |
Service Catalogs | The entered keyword or user input is searched in the Catalog Name, Description, and Keywords fields of the Service Catalogs and displays the Service Catalogs that contain the maximum number of matched characters. If two or more records are having similar matched characters or word, the most used Service Catalog is displayed on the top of the list. |
Incident Rules | The entered keyword or user input is searched in the Symptom and Keywords fields of the Incident Rules and displays the Incident Rules that contain the matched maximum number of characters. If two or more records are having similar matched characters or word, the used viewed Incident Rule is displayed on the top of the list. |
The following table describes how to use basic operators along with user inputs:
Operator | Description | Example | |
---|---|---|---|
Quotes | Use double quotes to search for an exact phrase. | Example: "Microsoft Outlook is not Working"
| |
Asterisk | Use an asterisk at the end of the keyword to search or include all of its variations. | Example: Micro* | |
Parentheses | Use parenthesis to combine other Operators for a more complex search. The keywords within the parenthesis are prioritized. | Example: Outlook AND (2010 OR 2016) In this case, the records which have the word "Outlook 2010" and "Outlook 2016" only displayed as search results. | |
AND | Use AND between search keywords to get results that only include both or all your keywords. | Example: Microsoft AND Visual | |
OR | Use OR between search keywords or terms that will broaden your search results by returning all possible combinations of search terms. | Example: Microsoft OR Visual |
