STEPS TO DO A FULL TEXT SEARCH
- Access Full Text Search:
- In the left-hand menu, head to 'My Tasks' and select 'Full Text Search'.
- Enter Keywords:
- If using multiple words, the system will look for the exact phrase.
- Employ "OR" to broaden your search even further.
- It's not case-sensitive.
- Initiate Search:
- Click on 'Search' to begin.
- The search scans all answers within indexed forms and attachments.
- Refine the results:
- Click the 'Edit Search' button at the top of the search results to add additional search criteria.
Application data is not indexed immediately:
- Application data has to be indexed before it is included in the Full Text search. However, data is indexed every 5 minutes so this should not be an issue.
