Advanced Search
The Advanced Search dialog box lets you create complex and precise queries after using the other types of searches. You can take the results and get really precise in your search.
Using Reserved Characters
Certain characters are reserved for use by IPRO Search and must be escaped if you want them to be part of a search. These include the following:
- Single Characters: \ + - && || ! ( ) { } [ ] ^ " ~ :
- Double Characters: && and ||
When using a reserved character at the beginning of a search query, it is important to ensure that the Automatically escape reserved index characters (SOLR) option is selected in the Search wizard. Otherwise, your search will not work properly.
The following example uses the tilde (~) character.
Example: ~asd.txt
Automatically escape reserved index characters (SOLR) is enabled by default. To view or disable the option, open a Search and navigate bottom-left in the wizard.
