Working with search forms
Search Forms are search templates that you use (and re-use) to perform an advanced search. GCdocs comes with predefined Search Forms. You can also create and save your own Search Templates.
When you first perform an advanced search, the Full Text form appears. To add Search Forms, select them from the Add to Search Form panel.
Adding to search form
Some of the more common advanced search forms include:
- Full Text
- performs a keyword search
- System Attributes
- allows you to narrow your search by Object type, Created By, Creation Date and other attributes
- Natural Language Query
- allows you to search by phrasing or asking a question
- Email
- allow you to search e-mails based on full text, subject line, recipient, sender, date received and date sent
Note: The more search criteria you use, the narrower your search results will be. A best practice is to start with a broad search and gradually refine your search.
