# Search Result View

The Top Bar contains a full text search text field. Use the text field to search across all items and chapters in the current project(s).

## Search Syntax

### Attributes sensitive to search 

The search function will search the content of the following attributes:

* String Attributes
* Rich Attributes
* Table Attributes
* File Attributes (i.e. content of Microsoft files including docx, xlsx and pdf)  

### Search is case-insensitive

The search is case-insensitive. There is no possibility to make the search case-sensitive.

### Search using single word

Entering a single word will yield hits for the exact occurrence of that word (not, for instances, where the search term is a part of a word).

### Using multiple words

Entering several words will search using and OR filter between the words.   

### Using quotes around several words

Placing double-quotes around several words will yield search results where the exact combination of terms inside the double-quotes are found.

### Using asterisk/star(\*) at the end of a search term

A search term can be appended (at the end of a word) with an asterisk/star to search for a part of a word.

### Search using ID

Use the syntax id=\<prefix> \<number> e.g. id=RQ 23

## Search Options

**Include Disabled** - tick the checkbox Include Disabled to include currently disabled items in the search result.
