The Search Result window provides advanced search options to help you further narrow down your search.

Procedure

  1. Perform a search as described in Using Enterprise Search.

  2. In the upper-left corner of the Search Result window, choose the layout.

    A filters pane appears to the left of the search results. The filters, grouped by business object types, and their fields and values, are displayed in a tree view format.

    Note Note

    In the tree, when a field has more than 10 values, the icon appears beside the field name. You can filter the value list by clicking the icon, typing a text string (all or part of a value, case-insensitive) in the text box, and clicking the icon on the right.

    After the value list is filtered, you can see a text box next to the field name that displays the filter text. You can close the text box to restore the original value list.

    End of the note.
  3. In the filters pane, select one or more advanced search options.

    The application refreshes the right pane to show only the matching results. The name of the selected object, object type, or field is displayed as a tab at the top of the search results. You can close the tab to disable the filter and restore the original search results.

    Note Note

    Advanced search is a second-time result filter based on the main search. If you set several advanced search options, the search rule is ‘AND’, which means the result will match all the values maintained in the advanced search options.

    End of the note.

Result

The enterprise search automatically saves previously performed search queries. Each saved query records the search terms only. The application does not save the object types you specified beside the Search box and the advanced search options that you selected in the Search Result window.

To view the search history, click the button on the right side of the Search box. A dropdown list displays a maximum of 10 search queries that you have performed. You can click a query to perform the search again.
