Using the Search Box to Find Records

Using the Search Box to Find Records

You can use the search box to perform search for records. You might want to search for records that you want to view, edit, or delete.
Your
Data Director
application must be configured to use Elasticsearch. When your application is configured to use Elasticsearch, you can search for records within a single business entity.
To find a record, enter a complete or partial search string in the Search box. A search string can include keywords, numbers, and operators. Stopwords, such as
a
,
an
,
of
, and
with
, are ignored in the search process.
You can use the wildcard operators
*
and
?
in the search strings. The
*
wildcard operator is a placeholder that matches zero or more characters. The
?
wildcard operator matches a single character.
The following table lists example search strings and explains how they function:
