Search by exact or partial number

Each document and case has a unique identification number applied according to number series set (Documents and Cases - Number series for documents and cases). You can search using an exact match or match using a partial number. If the partial number is used, the search will return the list of all items that match any part of the number. If the exact match is used, the searched item is located in the navigation tree. If the symbol * is placed before the partial number, the system will stop searching after the first match and will locate this first matched item in the navigation tree.

<aside> ⚠️ Please note:

• The speed of the search using numbers is very fast using exact matches. Searches that match any part of the number are much slower.
• At least 4 letters are required together with a '*' symbol.
• It is not allowed to use two or more '*' symbols in a search query.
• The symbol '*' should not be separated by spaces.
• The following characters cannot be made searchable: “, (, ), ***** and ? </aside>

One-word search

If you search using one keyword, the search will run against all instances - titles, authors and text content - that match the word.

<aside> ⚠️ Please note:

• Words such as "the" and "my" are not searchable because DocuNote considers them to be "noise" words. A noise word is a word that is so common that it is not useful in searches. Noise words should be searched by putting them into inverted commas ("") or putting the symbol (~) right after them. </aside>

Phrase search

If you search for a complete sentence, the search function will search all the words that the phrase contains and not the sentence as a whole. However, if you put the sentence in inverted commas, the search will return the items where the whole phrase occurs.
