When supporting Documentum, we often got complaining from users like “The search is not working” or “I cannot find my document”.
\nThe first reflex is to verify if the xPlore is working properly. The second reflex is to perform a search test but all is working correctly.
\nThen we contact user to get more details about his search.
\nSometimes the only problem is that user does not use the search properly. Indeed the Documentum search use its “own” language with wildcard and the user just don’t use the right syntax.
\nHere I propose to set a kind of Rosetta stone which make the link between Human and xPlore language.<\/p>\n

Ready to “talk” with the Full Text ?
\nLet’s start !<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Search comprehension:<\/h3>\n

A word<\/span><\/b>: this is a set of alphanumeric characters in between space characters.<\/p>\n

A wildcard<\/span><\/b> character: this is a kind of placeholder represented by a single character, such as an asterisk [ * ], takes the place of any other single character or a string or zero charactere.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Search with one word and quotation marks [ ” ” ]<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
When user type
\nin search field<\/strong><\/td>\n		Dsearch understand<\/strong><\/td>\nWill match<\/strong><\/td>\nWill
\nNOT<\/span>
\nmatch<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
“word1”<\/b><\/td>\n“word1”<\/b>: Here Fulltext will search for an exact match of terms contained between the quotation marks<\/td>\nword1<\/td>\nword
\nword11
\nxword1<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

Search with one word<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
When user type
\nin search field<\/b><\/td>\n		Dsearch understands<\/b><\/td>\nWill match<\/b><\/td>\nWill
\nNOT<\/span><\/strong>
\nmatch<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
word1<\/b><\/td>\n“word1*”<\/b>
\nHere FullText add an asterisk [ * ] at the end of the word which matches single character or a string or zero character.
\nAnd quotation marks are also automatically added at the beginning and the end of the word.<\/td>\n		word1
\nword1A
\nword14A
\nword132<\/td>\n		word
\nwo
\nrword
\n1word
\nword4A<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

Search with one word and wildcard question marks [ ? ]<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
When user type
\nin search field<\/b><\/td>\n		Dsearch understands<\/b><\/td>\nWill match<\/b><\/td>\nWill
\nNOT<\/span>
\nmatch<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
word1?<\/b><\/td>\n“word1?”<\/b>
\nHere Fulltext will replace the question mark [ ? ] with zero or one single character.
\nAnd quotation marks are also automatically added at the beginning and the end of the word.<\/td>\n		word1
\nword11
\nword12
\nword1a
\nword1x
\n…<\/td>\n		word
\nword123
\nxword11
\n<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

Search with one word and wildcard star [ * ]<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
When user type
\nin search field<\/b><\/td>\n		Dsearch understands<\/b><\/td>\nWill match<\/b><\/td>\nWill
\nNOT<\/span>
\nmatch<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
word1*<\/b><\/td>\n“word1*”<\/b>
\nThe asterisk [ * ] matches single character or a string or zero character.
\nAnd quotation marks are also automatically added at the beginning and the end of the word.<\/td>\n		word1
\nword12
\nword12a
\nword1x2b
\n…<\/td>\n		word
\nword1
\n<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

Search with several words<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
When user type
\nin search field<\/b><\/td>\n		Dsearch understands<\/b><\/td>\nWill match<\/b><\/td>\nWill
\nNOT<\/span><\/strong>
\nmatch<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
word1 word2<\/b><\/td>\n“word1*” OR<\/i><\/span> “word2*”<\/b>
\nThe [ space ] between two words is translated as “OR<\/i>“.
\nThe rule “1) search with one word”<\/b> is applied for each word<\/td>\n		word1 OR<\/i><\/b><\/span> word2
\nword1A
\nword14A
\nword132
\nword2
\nword2A
\nword24A
\nword232
\n…<\/td>\n		xword1 OR<\/i><\/b><\/span> x<\/i>word2<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

Search with several words and quotation marks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
When user type
\nin search field<\/b><\/td>\n		Dsearch understands<\/b><\/td>\nWill match<\/b><\/td>\nWill
\nNOT<\/span><\/strong>
\nmatch<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
“word1 word2”<\/b><\/td>\n“word1 word2”<\/b>
\nHere Fulltext will search for an exact match of terms contained within the quotation mark<\/td>\n		word1 word2<\/td>\nword1 OR<\/i><\/b><\/span> word2
\nword1 AND<\/i><\/b><\/span> xword2
\nxword1 AND<\/i><\/b><\/span> word2<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

Search with several words and [+] character<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
When user type
\nin search field<\/b><\/td>\n		Dsearch understands<\/b><\/td>\nWill match<\/b><\/td>\nWill
\nNOT<\/span><\/strong>
\nmatch<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
word1 + word2<\/b><\/td>\n“word1*” AND<\/i><\/span> “word2*”<\/b>
\nHere combination of word [ space ][ + ]word is translated as “AND<\/i>“.
\nThe rule “1) search with one word<\/b>” is applied for each word
\nNote:<\/i> Search can be combined with several [+]
\nword1 +word2 +word3<\/td>\n		word1 AND<\/i><\/b><\/span> word2
\nword1 AND<\/i><\/b><\/span> word2x
\nword1x AND<\/i><\/b><\/span> word2
\nword1x AND<\/i><\/b><\/span> word2x<\/td>\n		word1
\nword2
\nxword1 AND<\/i><\/b><\/span> word2
\nword1 AND<\/i><\/b><\/span> xword2<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

These are the basic search “tips” mostly out of the box, be aware these search behaviors can be customized with some parameters modifications.<\/p>\n

My advice is “Abuse quotation marks \u00a8” \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n

I hope this has been helpfull !<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
