Can I perform partial term matching when searching for my records?
Yes, partial term matching is available for identifying fields of objects. Each object has 1 field defined as the identifying field.
For the objets that have detail pages, the identifying field is the one that is used to
drill down into the details page of that object. For example, Account
Name is the identifying field for Account. If you want to perform a
partial match on the Account Name, enter Laptop
as your search term, and Adaptive Search will return results like Laptops, Laptop Dell,
Laptop IBM and so on.
Only exact matches are returned for matching terms on non-identifying fields. However, if
you add a wildcard to the search term such as Laptop*
, then you get all
results including Laptops, Laptop Dell, Laptop IBM and so on.
