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

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
