Simple Search provides you
with a mechanism to specify the search criteria. Therefore, by
entering known criteria in the keyword field, you can narrow your search
to only include those items that meet the criteria entered. In
addition, to change the list of searchable properties, you are provided
with an option to select a different view (search form) with the help of a
Views menu. A search form is a configuration on a class which has a set
of search and result properties. Search properties are used as a
part o the search criteria while performing the search. Result
properties are visible in the Results set. Therefore, when executing the search, the search
criteria is applied to the selected form and the results are tailored
accordingly. For example, if you enter a keyword in the search
field to search for a particular item, you can choose from the following
forms: 1) All Items, 2) Manufacturer's Content, 3)
Supplier's Content, or 4) Internal Content. Based on your
selection, the results could be comprehensive enough to encompass all
items within the database that meet the criteria of that keyword, or
narrow enough to only include the particular content that you defined. |
