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 "The Right Way" which contains the text "don't go this way", you can enter:

title:”Purchase Order” AND text:go

...

title:”Purchase Order” AND order

  1. The field is only valid for the term that it directly precedes, so the query

title:invoice approval information

...

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]

This will find documents whose mod_date fields have values between 300201 and 30050, inclusive.

  1. Note that Range Queries are not reserved for date fields. You could also use range queries with non-date fields:

        Title:{Document TO Invoice}

...

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. 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:

          expense^4 form

  1. This will make documents with the term expense appear more relevant. You can also boost Phrase Terms as in the example:

         “expense form”^4

...

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

...

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”

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

      NOT”purchase order”

  1. The "-" or prohibit operator excludes documents that contain the term after the "-" symbol.

       To search for documents that contain “Purchase order” but not ""expense form" use the query:
