About Document Searching

The Document Search feature allows you to quickly find any document within your Document Management system. It is augmented by the fact that you can search documents based on many different search criteria. You can also select the manner in which keywords are searched, whether that be by a powerful word matching tool, phonetic ("sounds like") similarity, or exact word matches.

Search Method
Choose the method by which ManageMore should search for documents based on keywords entered. Choose from:

IntellimatchThis method allows a user to search by utilizing several powerful search techniques, one of which evaluates keywords entered based on the suffixes they use. (This method is sometimes referred to as Porter Stemming.) For example, this allows a user who enters a keyword of "Education," to find documents that would include keywords of educate, educating, educated, etc.  
 
'Sounds-like' matchThis method uses phonetic technology to evaluate keywords entered by how they sound and not by how they are spelled. Therefore, "education" and "ejucayshun" would be seen as a match by this method. This method is particularly helpful when a document may have entered with a misspelled title or notes, and the user does not now what kind of misspelling took place.  
 
Exact word matchThis method matches keywords on a word-for-word basis with a document. The words that are being searched must be in the document in the exact manner typed.  
 
Additional Search Criteria  

Employee
Enter or select the ID of the employee that created the document.

Document Template
Select the template that the document was originally saved under.

UDF 01-05
