Google™-like default search
In Next® you can find documents in numerous ways. You can have search forms that combines exact meta data look up, with Google™-like free format search, and even full-text search through the content of documents and their attachments.
For historical reasons (meaning that we really can't come up with any good excuses), the default search you find at the very top of every document and task list, has always been the most simple one. Searching in only the description of the listed documents or tasks.
But no longer. As of now, the default search is our Google™-like free format search, where Next® looks into everything: all the meta data, the comments, and the content of your documents. And still - at the speed of light.
Now Next® will look for 'invoice' AND '384330' in all the information we have. Not only the description.
A long overdue enhancement that makes finding documents even easier. And remember, if you are getting too many hits - use the search form to provide limiting criteria.
Even more clever
At the same time as we change the default search to look into in all the data we have on your documents, we also make it easier to search in the actual document content - or the full-text as we call it.
Simply toggle between Include full-text and Exclude full-text, to get the result that suits you the best.
When you include full-text Next® presents the found documents with a small snippet of the text found.
And remember, when you do full text search in Next® you'll find whatever you are looking for, even in attachments!
Find whatever you are looking for, even in attachments!
How to use full-text search
Future enhancements
With this major upgrade to our default search, the need for other searches will decline. In a soon to come release we will eliminate the separate Search module, and encourage you to use the default search in the All documents view.
In a soon to come release of Next®, we will add a Global search at the very top bar of Next®. Whatever you type in here, will be used to search the entire enterprise archive for documents, folders, and tasks. This enterprise search will retire the dedicated Search tap in the left hand menu.
For the techies
Full-text search looks for any of the terms (words) you enter - prioritizing when all the terms you enter are found in the text close to each other. As our lists always enforces a sorting (typically on a date) you risk finding the documents where only one of the words appear at the top of the list.
In a later release, we will change this behavior.
At the time of writing, a bug prevents Next® from finding you documents based on comments. This bug will be resolved soon.
