Use this feature to search for a free-text string in the current database.
Procedure
- Specify whether you want to search CRs or tasks by clicking CR or Task in the Action Panel.
If you are searching a central CR database, you can search only for change requests. The central CR database does not contain tasks.
- On the Action Panel, type a free-text string in the field where you see the adjacent text input field.
Construct the string as follows:
- Use quotations to search for an exact phrase (for example, "default values").
- Use +keyword to denote a word that must be included in the search (for example, +default).
- Use -keyword to denote a word that must be excluded from the search (for example, -default).
- Click Search.
A Search Results dialog box opens, showing matching information. The results are ranked, according to relevancy. Sort a column by clicking the heading.
A message displays if no matches were found.
