Performing a Search: The Basics
2.
Disable Java for your browser. To do this, use the Languages option
preferences menu command.
3.
Click Guided Search on the standard search page and the advanced HTML
query page is displayed.
4.
In the For field, type in the word or phrase you want to search for. You can
create complex queries by combining operators. For details about the
search operators, see “Using the Query Operators” on page 424.
5.
You can type in one or more attributes to sort the results by. The default is
an ascending sort order, but you can indicate a descending sort order with a
minus. For more information about sorting, see “Sorting the Results” on
page 422.
6.
Depending on how many fields are listed for each document in the search
results page or how many you want to see at a time, you can expand or
limit the number of matching documents you want the search to return at a
time. The Prev and Next buttons allow you access to additional pages of
documents if there are too many to fit on a page at once.
7.
Use the drop-down list in the Search In field to choose the collection you
want to search through. You can select more than one collection by holding
down the Ctrl key as you click on another collection. All collections in a
query must be in the same language, but the web publishing collection
cannot be used in a multi-collection search.
8.
Click the Search button to execute your query.
The Search Results
There are two standard types of search results: a list of all documents that
match the search criteria and the text of a single document that you selected
from the list of matching documents.
Your access permissions are checked at several points during the search
process:
• When a user clicks on the icon displayed for a document in the search
results, which displays the highlighted version.
