Search All

The All Search feature allows you to search for content across menus. It is also possible to specify the menu to be searched in each case.

Content meta information search is basic, and string search within documents can be optionally added.
For sites that have added search from text in document data function, select either “Search by Meta Information for Content” or “Search from Text in Document Data” in search setting to search.

*All search is not available on the mobile device.

<How to search>

To search, enter a keyword in the search box in the header and click the magnifying glass button. Also, the keywords are AND search separated by spaces.

* While searching all, Refine Search, Content Registration, and Content Registration Request cannot be used.

* When [Search from Text in Document Data] function is executed, the list is displayed as a list only, and it is not available to switch to thumbnails large or small. If you click [TOP] in the breadcrumb list, each menu, or the image icon in the upper right corner, you will return to the menu page when logging in., and the display format will also return to the default.

* When executing [Search from Text in Document Data] , the search may not be performed immediately after content registration because indexing of strings is performed after the registration. In this case, please search again a while later. Indexable documents must be less than a million characters in string extracted results and less than 10 MB in bytes.

* All search results cannot be exported to a list.

*1 Fuzzy Search

A certain level of fluctuation can be covered in the search.
Please note the following:

• Alphabets are NOT case-sensitive, e.g. shelf, SHELF, shelf and ｓｈｅｌｆ.
• Katakana (Japanese character strings) are not distinguished between full-width (double-byte) or half-width (single-byte) characters.
  However, if the file is written in character code Shift_JIS half-width only, it will not be detected.
  In such a case, the search will be available by mixing some full-width character strings in the file, or by converting the character code to UTF-8 when saving file.
• Numbers do not distinguish between full-width, half-width, Chinese numerals, Arabic numerals, and some enclosed characters, e.g. ２, 2, ②, 二, (2) and 02.
• English/Hiragana/Katakana/Kanji (Chinese characters) are searched as separate words, e.g. mail, めーる and メール/検索,けんさく.
• Symbols cannot be searched, e.g. %, ¥ and *.
• In Japanese, conjunctions, particles, and auxiliary verbs cannot be searched, e.g.です, ます, なので, だから, ～を and ～が.

*Some searches may not search properly due to file settings or other reasons. If you have any problems, please contact us.
