When a user enters a search term (a word or phrase) in the simple search box, the term is matched to documents or other objects that have the search term within the document itself or within the object’s properties. This kind of search is called a full-text search.
A full-text search searches the files in default search location that the user is specified in the search preferences. The search can include several repositories at the same time and external sources such as external databases, web sources or the desktop.
When displaying search results, Documentum Administrator displays files with the most matching words first. If a repository has been indexed for parts of speech, Documentum Administrator also displays files that include variations of the words. For example, if a user searches for scanning, Documentum Administrator also looks for files that contain the words scan, scanned, and scanner.
To run a simple search:
In the box above the navigation pane, type the words for which to search.
To further define your search, see Further define search terms.
