About simple searches

Simple searches work differently depending on the active search facility:

While the metadata query engine is active, simple queries compare the specified text to the names of objects and, depending on how indexing is configured, the content of custom metadata that is well-formed XML. For information about indexing, see Indexes.

While either the HDDS search facility is active, simple searches compare the specified text to the names of objects, object content, and document titles and email subject lines where those are present in the extracted metadata.

To perform a simple search, you use the Simple Search page of the Search Console. On this page, you can type one or more separate words or phrases (called search terms) and select one of three kinds of comparison:

Any of these words returns objects that match at least one of the specified search terms.

All of these words returns objects that match every one of the specified search terms.

This exact phrase returns objects that match a single word or phrase exactly as specified, including any white space embedded in it.

You can use wildcard characters to generate more matches for your search terms, as described in Wildcards. With any and all, you can also create Boolean criteria for more complex text-based searches, as described in Boolean criteria.
