Searching Overview

One of the key ways you will find needed documents is to search the IPRO Eclipse database. This section explains the different ways in which you can search the database.

IPRO Eclipse uses a powerful search engine that can search terabytes in seconds. It does this by building a comprehensive index of terms and data for each case added to IPRO Eclipse. Using an index allows search speed and performance to be optimized.

Search technology includes the dtSearch search engine (from dtSearch Corp.) for SQL databases.

Searching includes finding documents by criteria that exist in the database. For example, you can search for documents that are tagged a certain way, or search for a term that exists in a specific field of the database.

An easy-to-use search function allows you to specify the search criteria, and includes sophisticated options such as stemming, fuzzy, and phonetic searching. For those who prefer typing to selecting options in a dialog box, basic search commands can be entered in the Search bar. This section explains both methods.

In addition, if the optional IPRO Eclipse Analytics is installed and configured at your company, advanced analytics based on conceptual searching are available. These include conceptual searching, clustering and categorization.

Search results can include either all documents matching your search criteria, or a random sampling of these documents. Random sampling allows you to focus your evaluation on a representative set of documents.

Permissions Required

Specific permissions exist for using both the main Search bar (quick search) and Advanced Search. Permissions regarding other search features also exist.

If you have any questions about your permissions, contact your IPRO Eclipse administrator.
