Search

The SEARCH page allows you to search the filtered case records that have been imported into the case in CloudNine™ Explore.  Searches are performed on the filtered records for a case. For example, if a case contains 3,000 records, but after filtering the records there are only 500 records, a search query is run against the 500 remaining case records.

Searching is made possible because CloudNine™ Explore automatically creates a comprehensive index during the import process. You can search and locate all instances or "hits" of your search terms in the filtered case records.  Search terms can be more than one word. They can also be numbers, text phrases, or a combination of terms and search operators. All records or individual records returned from a search query can be tagged in CloudNine™ Explore Web.  See Indexing in the CloudNine™ Explore documentation for more information.

Search queries can also be imported into CloudNine™ Explore Web from a line-delimited text file. When search queries are imported into CloudNine™ Explore Web, they are automatically added to the list on the SEARCH page in the Search Request pane. You can also export search queries to a line-delimited text file in order to import them into another case.

On the SEARCH page, tags can be applied to all or individual records in a search query. For more information about tagging documents by search query see Tagging.

A case's saved search queries are synchronized for the case between CloudNine™ Explore and CloudNine™ Explore Web. When saved search queries are added, edited, or deleted from CloudNine™ Explore or CloudNine™ Explore Web, the search query information is automatically updated for the case in the other application.

CloudNine™ Explore and CloudNine™ Explore Web use the dtSearch® search engine for searching in CloudNine™ Explore and CloudNine™ Explore Web.  For more information about dtSearch see http://www.dtsearch.com/index.html.

There are two levels of searching in CloudNine™ Explore Web:

Basic Searching — performing keyword (one word) searches and locating all instances of the term in the filtered case records.

Advanced Full-Text Searching — performing searches with two or more search terms to enable more precise search results.

ExploreWebSearch

The SEARCH page consists of three panes:

Search Request pane - used to define search queries for the case.

Document List pane - used to view the results for a selected search.

Document Details pane - displays the file information for the file currently selected in the document list pane.

Search Request Pane Details

Search Options

At the top right of the Search Request Pane is the Search Options (gear) icon.  Clicking this icon opens the Search Options dialog.

ExploreWebSearchOptions

Use Stemming

Stemming extends a search to cover grammatical variations on a word. For example, a search for applied would also find applying, applies, and apply.

 

Use Phonic Searching

Phonic searching looks for a word that sounds like the search word you are searching for and begins with the same letter. For example, a phonic search for Smith will also find Smithe and Smythe.

 

Use Fuzzy Searching

Fuzzy searching looks for words with similar spelling as the search term. For example, the search term case might return records that contain cash, cage, cake, etc. Fuzzy searching can be particularly useful in finding misspellings of a search term. Set the fuzzy searching value to a number between 1 and 10, with 1 being the least fuzzy and 10 being the most fuzzy.

 

Search Syntax

Boolean - This is the default value. Boolean searches find a structured group of words or phrases linked by and, or, not, and w/.

All Words - Finds the search term in any sequence of text, such as a sentence or a question. Documents must include all words in the search to be returned by the search.

Any Words - Finds the search term in any sequence of text, such as a sentence or a question. Documents that include at least one word in the search are returned.

 

Synonym Searching

WordNet Synonyms - Use synonyms from the WordNet thesaurus for synonym searching.

WordNet Related Words - Use related words from the WordNet thesaurus for synonym searching.
