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 know how to search Fragments more effectively.

✔️ 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.
    • This will highly likely get more specific and exact search results.
  • 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 result.
    • 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
      • etc.
  • After completing your search phrase, you can click the submit button below to kick the search.

  • Clicking the submit button at the bottom won't work when using Search History tab.
