34 IBM SmartCloud iNotes: IBM SmartCloud iNotes User's Guide

Page 39: IBM SmartCloud iNotes: IBM SmartCloud iNotes User's Guide

Search criteria

Text searchingDepending on when your IBM SmartCloud iNotes account was setup, you have either the Full-text search capabilities or the Basic-textsearch capabilities.v Full-text search capabilities include searching the following:

– To

– From

– Cc

– Bcc

– Subject

– Mail content, including the content of attachments in thesupported file formats:- Microsoft Word (.doc and .dot) when Shift-JIS encoding is not

used.- Rich text format (.rtf)- OpenDocument v1.0: Text document (*.odt)- OpenDocument v1.0: Global Text document (*.otm)- OpenDocument v1.0: Text document used as a template for

HTML documents (*.oth)- Office Open XML Document (*.docx)- Plain text (*.txt and *.text)

For a Full-text search, the first characters of your search argumentcannot contain symbols and punctuation characters. The searchengine ignores the following list of symbols and punctuationcharacters as the first characters of the search argument until youreach a valid character:

-&|!^ (carat)~

- (hyphen)%?:

Chapter 5. Advanced mail tasks 35

Page 40: IBM SmartCloud iNotes: IBM SmartCloud iNotes User's Guide

For example, if you enter %?&te~st as search criteria, the searchengine ignores the %?& characters and uses te~st as the searchcriteria.For a Full-text search, there is no limit for the length of all thesearch keywords. However, each individual keyword has a limit of255 characters.

v Basic-text search capabilities include searching the following:– To

– From

– Cc

– Subject

For a Basic-text search, the search string has a maximum length of1000 characters, but there is no limit for length of each individualkeyword.

For both Full-text and Basic-text searches, the search function matches partialwords, including those words found in the middle of another word. Forexample, searching for com matches dot.com, company, and welcome.

Fuzzy searchingFor a fuzzy search, type a tilde (~) at the end of a word that you usefor the search criteria. For example, to search for a term similar inspelling to roam, type the following entry in the search field: roam~.This search query finds results like foam and roams.

You can filter the fuzzy search results by using an additional, optionalparameter. The parameter is a number, 0 - 1, that quantifies similarity.The closer the parameter is to 1, search results with a higher similarityare returned. For example, if you want search results that closelymatch the word used for the search criteria, type the following entryin the search field: roam~0.8

The default value for this parameter is 0.5.

Restriction: Fuzzy searching is only available if you have Full-text searchingcapabilities.

Wildcard searchingSingle and multiple character wildcard searches within single terms,not within phrases, are supported. To perform a single characterwildcard search, use the question mark (?). To perform a multiplecharacter wildcard search, use the asterisk (*). You cannot use aquestion mark or asterisk as the first character of a search entry.

The single character wildcard search looks for terms that match withthe single character that is replaced. For example, to search for termor team, type the following entry in the search field: te?m.

36 IBM SmartCloud iNotes: IBM SmartCloud iNotes User's Guide

Page 41: IBM SmartCloud iNotes: IBM SmartCloud iNotes User's Guide

Multiple character wildcard searches look for 0 or more characters.For example, to search for term, terms, or terminology, type thefollowing entry in the search field: term*.

You can also use the wildcard character for a search in the middle of aterm. For example, t*m.

Restriction: Wildcard searching is only available if you have Full-textsearching capabilities.

Boolean operatorsYou can use Boolean operators to combine search terms with logicoperators. This search tool supports AND, plus sign (+), OR, NOT,and minus sign (-) as Boolean operators. When you use Booleanoperators, capitalize all letters in the Boolean operator. For example:AND

OR The OR operator is the default conjunction operator. Forexample, if there is no Boolean operator between two terms,the OR operator is used by the search tool. The OR operatorlinks two terms to find a matching document if either of theterms exist in a document. This operator is equivalent to aunion using sets. You can use the double vertical bar (||) inplace of the word OR.

AND The AND operator matches the search criteria where bothterms exist anywhere in the text of a single document. Thisoperator is equivalent to an intersection using sets. You canuse the double ampersand (&&) in place of the word AND.

+ The + operator indicates that the search criteria that is typedafter the plus sign (+) is present in the results that arereturned. For example, to search for documents that mustcontain search and might contain terminology, type thefollowing entry in the search field: +search terminology

NOT The NOT operator indicates that the search criteria that istyped after NOT is excluded from the results that arereturned. Using the NOT operator is equivalent to a differenceusing sets. Use the exclamation point (!) in place of the NOToperator.

Do not use the NOT operator with only one term. Forexample, if you enter the following search criteria, no resultsare returned: NOT "search terminology"

- Like the NOT operator, the (-) operator indicates that thesearch criteria that are typed after the minus sign (-) isexcluded from the results that are returned.

Chapter 5. Advanced mail tasks 37

For example, to search for documents that contain searchterminology, but not accurate results, type the following entryin the search field: "search terminology" -"accurateresults".

Restriction: Searching with Boolean operators is only available if you haveFull-text searching capabilities.

Date range searchingTo search for a date range, enter a lower and upper bound for thedate range. The format for the date range search is as follows:arrival:[yyyyMMddHHmmssSSS TO yyyyMMddHHmmssSSS].

Where:v yyyy represents the yearv MM represents the month in the yearv dd represents the day in the monthv HH represents the hour in the dayv mm represents the minutes in the hourv ss represents the seconds in the minutev SSS represents the milliseconds in the second

For example, to find emails received between 10 October 2009 and 31October 2009, type the following entry in the search field:arrival:[20091010000000000 TO 20091031000000000]

Results

If the import process requires more than a few seconds, a status messageindicates that the calendar events are being imported. The import process cantake several minutes.

Failures during the import process can occur for the following reasons:v An event that you are trying to import contains unsupported information.v If too many failures occur, the import process is halted.

If there are failures during the import process, check your .ics file for invaliddata or data that is not in your SmartCloud iNotes calendar.

Setting up a CalDAV account

Setting up a CalDAV server account allows you to access and share calendarinformation with other calendar applications. You can then synchronizecalendar information with other users and between multiple devices.
