Here are some notes to consider when using full-text
search:
Searches are not case
sensitive.
You can search for words and
phrases and use familiar wildcards such as asterisks (*) and
question marks (?) in search queries. An asterisk (*) replaces an
unlimited number of characters. The question mark (?) replaces a
single character. You can use these wildcards in any position and
in any quantity. To search for a specific phrase, enclose the
phrase in double quotes. To search for multiple words, separate
each word with a space.
After you enter search criteria and submit you search, Search
Server returns the search results page. The search results page is divided into the following
viewing areas:
Search query Displays the
search criteria you entered.
Statistics bar Shows the
number of results displayed on the current search results
page.
Search results Displays a
numbered list of items containing information that matched the
search criteria you entered.
Results navigator Shows how
many results pages are returned and allows you to navigate from
page to page.
