Basic Operations for Search Dialog

✔️ Default Rules for Search Phrase

• You can separate multiple Search keywords with one or more spaces.
• If you have a search phrase with some spaces in it and you want Civilizer to treat it as one single search phrase, surround the phrase with double quotation marks (").
  • For instance, if you type big data, the search result may match both of the following.
    1. What you have is a big chunk of useless data.
    2. Big data will improve our society.
  • On the other hand, if you type "big data", the search result will match only the 2nd.
  • Note that using single quotation marks (') won't work.
• By default, when you type multiple search keywords, Civilizer finds you Fragments that match all of the words.
  • In contrast, when you want to find Fragments that match just any of given words, use any: followed by your search keywords.
  • For example, you can search like any: android iphone to match Fragments containing either of the words or both.
  • Refer to Civilizer Search Operators to understand more effective methods to search Fragments.

✔️ Types of Search

Search buttons are located on the page header or panel toolbars, but pressing the shortcut Control + Shift + Space will show you the Search Dialog most quickly.
When the Search Dialog appears, you will find vertically placed tabs sitting on the dialog.

• Quick Search (Default)
  • This tab has only one text input element.
  • Just type search phrase you'd like and press Enter or click the submit button below.
  • You can specify more advanced search phrase using Civilizer Search Operators.

• Normal Search
  • When you click this tab, you'll see more of UI components.
  • You can type specific search phrase for each specific category.
  • As stated above, when you type multiple search keywords, the search result will match all of the words.
    • For instance, a trivial search phrase such as big data will match phrases that contain all of those two words like so:
      • What you have is a big chunk of useless data.
  • But if you check the checkbox saying 'Any', Fragments that match any of the words would be fetched as the results.
    • For instance, with Any checkbox checked, a search phrase such as big data will match phrases that contain any of those two words as follows:
      • He's a big guy!
      • data science
      • big data technology and etc.
  • After completing your search phrase, you can click the submit button below to kick the search.

  • To kick the search, you need to click the icon on the left (a magnifier icon) or press ENTER while the input box has focus.

NOTE
Clicking the submit button won't work when using Search History tab.
