The most prominent search feature is the search box in the header of the wiki. If a user has not switched to the search center yet, this field simply looks for a page name or display title that contains the exact search term. The title search does not do a full-text search. You have to switch to the full-text search (=[[Manual:Extension/BlueSpiceExtendedSearch#Search Center (extended search)|Search center]]) for that. This can be done by simply pressing the <code>Enter</code>  key after entering a search term in the Quick Search field.

'''What users should know about this search field  (- you can try the following searches in this helpdesk):'''
 
# It is '''not case-sensitive''': "qual" or "Qual" return the same results.
# The search term needs to be at the '''beginning of a word''': the search term "ards" will not return pages that contain "cards".
# Search results are '''limited to 7 page titles'''. This is important to understand to have the right expectations. In most cases, the search field is simply used as a springboard to pages that are known to the user (e.g., to jump to a team page or to the page "Processes" or any other known page the user wants to reach quickly).
# '''Spelling mistakes''' will not return any results: "Qality" does not return "Quality"
# Multiple search terms can be in '''any order''' to produce results ("toc download"  finds pages just like "download toc").
# '''Search operators''' such as <code>""</code>, <code>OR</code>, <code>AND</code>re not supported. However, they are supported in the [[Manual:Extension/BlueSpiceExtendedSearch#Search operators|full-text search]].
# The '''sort order''' for the results are based on a combination of best title match and last edit date of the page. (You can find the technical details on the [[Reference:BlueSpiceExtendedSearch|reference page for the extension ExtendedSearch.]] Some configuration changes are possible if the wiki is hosted on premise. There are no configuration options in Cloud wikis. )

The wiki provides a few input fields that help users to locate pages in the wiki. There are two types of these fields: Search fields and filter fields. They behave differently and it is useful to know their differences.

Title search

Droplet

  • not case-sensitive, but search term needs to be at the beginning of a word.

Content filter

  • not case-sensitive, search term can be anywhere (also within words)
  • filter term needs to have at least 3 letters
Sun Mon Tue
Meat Lentils Salad
Potatoes Salad Meat
Soup Refreshment Spaghetti

SMW datatables filter

  • Page titles need to be filtered with uppercase to be found. ("me" does not find page "Mention")
  • Page titles are found even if they are preceded by a special character ("Zwei" finds "-Zwei")
  • Lowercase filter considers letters within words and at the beginning of words except for the first letter of the title ("me" finds "Book a meeting" and "Ideenmanagement", but not "Mention")
  • Uppercase filter considers letters at the beginning and within words ("Me" finds "Mention", "SMW Media query" and "TestMedium")
