Searching for Documents or Objects
You can search for documents or objects using the portal
banner, using the Portal Search portlet, using advanced search, or
using federated search. Each method of search uses the same text search
rules.
Note: Only those documents or objects to which you have at
least Read access appear in your results.
- Searching for Objects or Documents Using Advanced SearchYou can perform an advanced search, using metadata properties and location, to find objects or documents.
- Searching Other Content, Portals, or Web Search Engines with Federated SearchYou can use federated search to search for content in web search engines (for example, Google or AltaVista), other portals, or other collections of information (for example, a Lotus Notes collection or a set of customer service incident reports).
- Viewing Search Results from a Banner SearchWhen you perform a banner search, each item returned includes an icon to signify what type of document or object it is (for example, signifies a web page and signifies a user), the item name, the item description, when the item was last modified, and a link to view additional item properties.
- Saving a SearchYou can save a search and access it later through the Portal Search portlet.
- Managing Your Saved SearchesOn the Search Preferences page you can rename or delete your previously saved searches.
- Refining Your Search ResultsYou can refine your search results by filtering items by type or searching again within your results.
