KnowledgeTree provides three versatile search options simple (quick) search, advanced search, and saved searches. Search is permissions-based, so the system only returns items that the logged in user is allowed to access.
Note: words shorter than 4 characters long (e.g. "the" or "for") are discarded from the search. Search also only ever returns fully matching words (e.g. "Know" will not match "KnowledgeTree").
Specify a search term to search all text - including document metadata and the contents of the following file types (if your administrator has configured these options): MS Word, MS Excel, MS PowerPoint, Adobe PDF, and Plain Text files.
Define criteria to launch a detailed Boolean search of the repository. This search allows more detailed search requests (using document metadata). For example, you can search for all MS Excel documents containing the word 'Invoice'.
The saved search function allows KnowledgeTree administrators to pre-save useful advanced searches. For example, you may want to save a search that shows all documents in a completed state of a workflow. Saved searches save time on commonly used searches.
