More Criteria options

The More Criteria tab options in the PowerUser determine which property values the search results must match. The following table describes these options.

More Criteria options
Option Description

All of these criteria

Search results must match all of the listed criteria. Also known as an AND search.

Any of these criteria

Search results can match any of the listed criteria. Also known as an OR search.

Property

Double-click an empty cell in the Property column or click Add to display a list of search properties and options from which to select. The list includes the names of properties designated as Key Find properties. To select other properties, enable List all properties. Click Remove to remove a criterion. Click Remove All to start over.

Note:

The exact match and fuzzy search options for document content and memo content determine how substrings in text are detected. They can be important for finding, for example, the same date formatted for different locales (1-2-2013 vs. 2-1-2013) or a document, tag, or part number that contains punctuation characters (71-3810.10).

Routed properties (properties inherited from parent objects) are shown in the list as <FolderType>:<PropertyDefinition>.<PropertySet>.

Condition

Select an appropriate condition from the list. The conditions listed are those valid for the data type of the selected property.

Value

Type a value to search for. Only values valid for the data type of the selected property are allowed.

Partial word searches are supported for document content or memo content (full text search). For example, searching for “ship” will find “ship” or “ships” or “shipyard.”

Note:

If a date type property is selected, the Value can be specified either by selecting a date from the calendar (default) or by entering an expression. To type an expression, right-click the current value, select Type date expression and type the expression. The expression can use the %CURRENTDATE% variable to calculate acceptable dates. For example, %CURRENTDATE% + 10 will include property values for the next ten days. The variable supports addition and subtraction operations.

If the selected property is associated with a lookup list, the Value text box becomes a list from which you can select a lookup list value so that you do not need to know the precise value to type.

List all properties

Enable this option to include all property names in the Property list.
Note:

Meridian supports partial word searches on document content or memo content (full text search).
