Performing a Search: The Basics
418 Netscape Enterprise Server Administrator’s Guide
On the guided Java-based search interface, you can use the many drop-down
lists to easily construct a query. You can only obtain this interface when Java is
enabled for your browser.
On the advanced HTML page, you have the additional options of selecting
multiple collections to search through, establishing a sort sequence for the
results, and defining how many documents are to be displayed on a page at a
time (clicking the Prev and Next arrows moves you through the pages of
results).
Note
You can only execute date and number comparison searches against HTML
META attribute values in the web publishing collection provided you have
redefined them as date or number properties through the Web Publishing |
Add Custom Property form.
To perform a standard search, follow these steps:
1.
Type this URL in the location field in your web browser:
h
ttp:// yourServer /search
2.
In the search query page that appears, choose the collection you want to
search through from the drop-down list in the Search In field.
3.
Enter the word or phrase for your search query in the For field. You can
create complex queries by combining operators. For details about the
search operators, see “Using the Query Operators” on page 424.
4.
Click the Search button to execute your query.
Guided Search
You can choose to use the Java-based guided search interface, which helps you
construct the query. This is especially useful if you want to build a query that
has several parts, say searching for a word in the documents’ content as well as
a specific attribute value.
Note
Make sure Java is enabled for your browser. To do this, use the Languages
option preferences menu command.
