Enter one or more search terms and choose Search.
You can use the categories above the entry field to narrow down your search from the start.
As you enter a text, the system suggests possible search terms that have previously been used frequently by you and other users. The list of suggestions changes automatically depending on the category selection.
When you use numeric values in a search, for example a material number, the handling of leading zeros depends on the implementation of the individual object. To obtain optimum results, you may have to enter leading zeros or replace them with an asterisk (*).
Note that searching in documents is slightly different from searching in text fields of business objects. Text fields are usually indexed as strings, and the search terms have to match these strings exactly. Texts, on the other hand, are split up into individual words before they are indexed, and even word combinations are split. If you want to make sure that all combinations of your term are found in a business objects search, you must put it between two asterisks, for example, *abc*. This is not necessary when searching in documents.
You can use the following operators in the entry field:
Operator |
Example |
---|---|
None AND (TREX only) |
Shares warrants shares AND warrants Finds results that contain both the word “shares” and the word “warrants”. |
OR |
shares OR warrants Finds results that contain either the word “shares” or the word “warrants”. |
- (SAP HANA only) NOT (TREX only) |
shares NOT warrants Finds results that contain the word “shares” but not the word “warrants”. |
* |
warr* Finds results containing words that start with “warr”, for example “warrants”, “warranty”, and “warranted”. |
? (TREX only) |
sh?res Finds results containing word that have any character in place of the “?”, for examples “shares” and “shores”. |
"" |
"with best regards" Finds results that contain the exact phrase “with best regards”. |
You can configure the system to record your searches. To do this, choose History next to the input field.
. You can then call up the recorded searches again in the
