Help on Search

HyperWave offers integrated search facilities. Using the Search icon you enter the Search form that lets you customize your search.

Simple Search Options

Enter the word you want to search for in the Search for field. You can enter a single word in this field or formulate a boolean query. The AND operator can be specified by using & or and, the OR operator by using | or or. A third operator is the ANDNOT operator, specified by using &! or andnot. Search terms may be truncated with an asterisk, (e.g. hyper*) to search for particular prefixes, brackets may be used to structure the query, e.g. HyperWave & (Client | Server). All inputs (including boolean operators) are treated case insensitive, space between words is interpreted as AND.

After you have specified your search query, choose method, language(s), and domain of your search. You can search in titles, keywords, or in the content of the documents of your preferred language(s), either in the collection you are currently browsing or in the whole server. If you do a fulltext search, you can set the maximum number of matches shown in the result list.

When you have customized your search, use the button Submit Search to send it to the HyperWave server.

Extended Search Options

The extended search form provides three additional features for refining your search. You can search for the author of documents and specify dates, so that just those documents are retrieved that are created before or modified after a particular date.
The format for the date fields is either yy/mm/dd or -n d with n the number of days before today. (For example the entry -365 d in the field Modified after will show all documents modified in the last year)

Result List

After submitting your search the HyperWave Server will show all found documents in the result list. (see Help on Search Result Lists for further description) For fulltext search additionally the search score of each document is displayed in percent.
