Advanced search (Reports)

Some advanced searching features are enabled by default. To search using the default features, enter one or more keywords in Search reports for and then click the Search button.

• Click Cancel to cancel the search and return to the Reports tab.

To customize the advanced search features:

• In Using, specify whether you want to search using All words, Any word, or Exact phrase. (If you only want to find your search term without any of its extended forms, check Find whole world only. For example: If checked, a search for "wine" will not find "swine".)
  • All words is an AND search. Only results that contain all the keywords will be shown. For example, an AND search for Table Chair will return only those reports that contain both Table and Chair.
  • Any word is an OR search. All results that contain either keyword will be shown. For example, an OR search for Table Chair will return any reports that contain either Table or Chair.
  • Exact phrase returns only results that contain the keywords exactly as entered. For example, an Exact Phrase search for Table Chair will return only reports that contain the exact phrase "Table Chair".
• In Look in, choose whether you want to search through all the available reports, or only in your own saved reports.

  Note: Not all sites have searching on My reports enabled. If it is not enabled, the Look in option will not be present.

• To limit searching to the current folder and its subfolders, select Search within current folder. (This is an optional feature which may not be available in all sites.)
• In Include, you can deselect any search criteria that you do not want to use in the search.

  Note: The report list may contain file types other than IVTs, such as PDF or XLS files. Only the following search criteria apply to the other file types: Report name, Author, Category, Keywords, File name, File subject, and File comments.

  Note: You can search for extracts by Variable, Variable Notes, Variable category, and Series.
