Search

On most parts of the application, you can use the search box to search for records. The search results returned are based on your search criteria in the context of the current screen you're in. For example, if you do a search in Style Grid or List view, the results returned are style records that match your search criteria.

Note: Styles, materials, or trims that you created or copied are displayed on other user's search results after a time, but they are displayed on your search results immediately. Other users must wait for a few minutes before these items are displayed on search results.

Additionally, you can only use generic lookup fields in filters.

Use a filter to search for records based on a field. The list contains fields that apply to the current screen. When you select a field, the list is populated with values for the selected field. Applying the filter displays results based on your selected field and field values.

You can perform a refined search using advanced filters. You can create advanced filters for certain entities and use several fields and multiple criteria.

Elasticsearch is used when you search on these modules:

  • Styles
  • Materials
  • Trims
  • Requests
  • Colors
  • Point of Measure
  • Users

Elasticsearch is used on the list pages of these modules and panes. It covers different search features such as list page search, filters, and advanced filters. All other modules use the database search engine.

Note: Modules that use Elasticsearch can display a maximum of 10,000 records. The search result counter in the grid shows the number of records that match your search criteria. If you open a search result page that contains the 10,001th record, an error message is displayed.

Elasticsearch facilitates fast querying from thousands of data in supported modules.

You can use these special characters when creating a search criteria using simple search or advanced filters:

  • Ampersand (&)
  • At symbol (@)
  • Caret (^)
  • Dash (-)
  • Dollar sign ($)
  • Exclamation point (!)
  • Forward slash (/)
  • Hash symbol (#)
  • Percent (%)
Note: The asterisk (*) and question mark (?) characters are reserved characters, which you can't use as search values.
