Searches in the Search Content Component

Content searches enable you to search the library, view search results, perform additional where-used searches, and update or view the elements using PeopleSoft. In addition, you can perform searches from within various Supplier Contract Management maintenance components for clauses and sections, which is discussed in the Keyword Searches in the Manage Contract Library Component section, and from the Document Maintenance component, which is discussed in the Keyword Searches in the Document Management Component section.

You can search across documents in any status or stage in the document life cycle. A search can also be limited to certain transactional field values. For example, you can search across all contracts that involve an item category of computer hardware, remaining contract amounts, and contract default ChartFields.

Content-based searches include the capability to search for a text string across multiple source transactions at one time. You can search for attachments that might include supplier papers, Adobe .pdf files, or Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. Finally, you can perform content-based searches for document types, user-defined fields, and imported documents.

Note:

If you are using transactional data, such as item or supplier information that appears as bind values in a document, and you change the transactional data and do not update the document, then PeopleSoft Search Framework text searches will not find the changes.
