The Search in Feeder 2¶

With Version 2.0 (incl. Elasticsearch), a new search approach is available allowing a case-insensitive search.

Enabling the Full-Text Search¶

How to:

Please enable the Full-Text Search flag in the attribute configuration
Please do so for all the fields in the Global View of Fields that you want to be available

Examples (Full-Text Search)¶

In the following example, the following fields were flagged: Lastname, Firstname, Email

The search string can be entered in any capital or lower case spelling
The Feeder will search all 3 columns and return the results view
In this case, all e-mail addresses are returned with a domain name ‘outlook.com’

In the second example, the following fields were flagged: Lastname, Firstname, Email, UserID

The Feeder will return all firstnames and lastnames that contain ‘li’

Searching in Particular Fields¶

With Feeder 2, the column-based approach of searching can no longer be applied. Now there is a new way how to search and find non-flagged fields.

How to:

type the field name (system name or label)
add a colon :
type the value (not the label)
hit Enter or click on the magnifier icon

Hint

Add another column to your search using a &

Hint

When working in the record, the particular search of a manager can also be done

The Search in Feeder 1¶

This search approach is true for all Feeder instances up to Version 1.13.

(Filter Knowledge Recap)

Filtering On the Standard View¶

Filtering On A New/ Different/ Custom View¶

Filtering with No Criteria but Custom View¶

For us to view the Manager and Hiredate fields.

Combining a Filter/ Custom View with a Search Argument¶

Accidently Searching On an Active Filter with Different View¶

Searching Reference fields (e.g. Manager)¶

Important

It is important to search for the value attribute that is set in the field configuration. It is the value that is stored in the database as compared to the search attributes. Therefore it is a best practice, to have it as a display attribute too!

Searching in Date Fields¶

Important

Unfortunately this is not possible. Please use the filter functionality.
