Search Results

The search operation returns a list of results based on locating the users keywords in document-specific metadata; for example, document name, date created or author (for Financial Reporting Word or PDF documents only), and extracting content-based information from documents.

Results are returned as a list of document references and synopses, ranked in order of relevance. Search results are:

• Categorized based on content type, modified date, and file locations within the Explore Repository.

• Sorted by relevance or by modified date

• Authorized; user credentials ensure that only user-authorized content authorized is returned

Search results include:

• File name (clicking on this launches the document)

• Description

• Document type

• Last modified date

• File path (double-clicking on this launches the folder)

You can order search results according to Score or Last modified Date.

By default, search results are sorted by score. A document’s score or relevance is determined by how many times the keyword appears in the document and how many other keywords are in the document. For example, a document where the keyword appears three times but only has five words scores higher than a document where the keyword appears 10 times but with 1000 other keywords.

You can also filter search results according to document type, modified date, or publish location.
