Search results
The full text search results facilitate possible actions associated with the returned entries. Only entries for which you have access permissions are included in the search results.
The search results page is divided into two or three panes, depending on the options defined by the administrator and user access to the Execute Indexed Search capability.
Refine by
This pane is used to filter the search results to narrow them.
All users can refine their search results by Type and Creation Date.
Users who have the Execute Indexed Search capability can refine their search results by: Results, Type, Part, Creation Date, Owner, and Metadata.
Results
This pane shows the results based on the search parameters and filters applied in the Refine by pane. The exact matches are highlighted in the description. A relevance percentage is assigned to each result. From the Actions column, you can view the entry properties, schedule the entry, or open the entry in the applicable Cognos® studio.
This pane contains the following sections:
- Suggested
This section shows content based on suggestions that are defined in the search index by the Cognos BI administrator.
This section is displayed only for users who have the Execute Indexed Search capability
- Create and Explore
This section shows default queries based on the search criteria. The queries can be used to start building a report quickly when there are no existing reports that provide the necessary details. You can use one of these queries and then customize it to create a report that can be reused or shared with others.
This section is displayed only for users who have the Execute Indexed Search capability.
- The last section is not labeled. It contains the full content
search results that are directly related to the criteria used to perform
the search and provides results from the stored content.
This section is displayed for all users.
