Emakin system gives users various search options. There are:

...

Two types of search term option is available:

  1. A Single Term is a single word such as “ purchase” or “order”.

  2. A Phrase is a group of words surrounded by double quotes such as "purchase order".

Fields

You can search any field by typing the field name followed by a colon ":" and then the term you are looking for.

  1. If you want to find the document entitled "Purchase Order" which contains the text "order", you can enter:

title:”Purchase Order” AND text:go

...

To perform a multiple character wildcard search use the "*" symbol.

  1. The single character wildcard search looks for terms that match that with the single character replaced. For example, to search for "invoice" or "expense" you can use the search:

      invo?ce

      2. Multiple character wildcard searches looks for 0 or more characters. For example, to search for expense or expenses you can use the search:

...

Emakin system supports fuzzy searches. To do a fuzzy search use the tilde, "~", symbol at the end of a single word Term.

  1. To search for a term similar in spelling to the "expense", use the fuzzy search:

      expense~

       2. The value is between 0 and 1, with a value closer to 1 only terms with a higher similarity will be matched. For example:

...

Range Queries allow one to match documents whose field(s) values are between the lower and upper bound specified by the Range Query.

  1. Range Queries can be inclusive or exclusive of the upper and lower bounds. Sorting is done lexicographically.

       Mod_date:[300201 TO 300501]

...

Emakin system provides the relevance level of matching documents based on the terms found. To boost a term use the caret, "^", symbol with a boost factor (a number) at the end of the term you are searching for. The higher the boost factor, the more relevant the term will be.

  1. Boosting allows you to control the relevance of a document by boosting its term. For example, if you are searching for:

          expense form

and you want the term "expense" to be more relevant boost it using the ^ symbol along with the boost factor next to the term. You would type:

...

The OR operator is the default conjunction operator. This means that if there is no Boolean operator between two terms, the OR operator is used. The OR operator links two terms and finds a matching document if either of the terms exist in a document. This is equivalent to a union using sets. The symbol || can be used in place of the word OR.

  1. To search for documents that contain either "expense form" or just "expense" use the query:

     “expense form” expense

...

To search for documents that must contain "expense" and may contain the the "form", use the following query:

...

The NOT operator excludes documents that contain the term after NOT. This is equivalent to a difference using sets. The symbol ! can be used in place of the word NOT.

  1. To search for documents that contain"purchase order" but not "expense form" use the query:

       “Purchase order” NOT “expense form”

           2. The NOT operator cannot be used with just one term. For example, the following search will return no results:

        NOT”purchase order”
