Note Note

You can use the categories above the entry field to narrow down your search from the start.

End of the note.

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. Depending on the system configuration, the search tolerates minor errors in entries, such as typing errors or transposed digits.

Note Note

When searching for numeric values, for example a material number, the handling of leading zeros depends on the implementation of the individual object in the source system. To obtain optimum results, you may have to enter leading zeros or replace them with an asterisk (*).

End of the note.

You can use the following operators in the entry field:

Operator	Example
None or `AND`	`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”.
`NOT`	`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”.
`?`	`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 search requests. To do this, choose Personalize History . You can then call up the recorded queries again in the History next to the input field.
