Searching

You can access the search from the start page (global search and info area search).

Tap on in the application menu to open the search. Tap on to close the search. If you search from the start page, the search contains a global search area and search areas for individual info areas. When returning to the search from the global search results, the global search is also opened.

If no search term has been entered, the fields that the application searches in are displayed in the search field. For example, the global search searches for persons with matching first or last names. The search term will be found if it is entered in any of the fields, i.e. when searching for "James", the search will return all persons whose first or last name is "James".

Note: You can use the * wildcard. If you do not enter a wildcard, the search terms are treated as though the * wildcard is present at both the start and end of the search term. This means that searching for ‘b’ will return all companies whose name includes a ‘b’ anywhere in their name (e.g. "Bem", "ABC", "Aicob"). If you search specifically for "b*", only those companies whose name begins with ‘b’ are gound (e.g. "Bem"). The search is not case-sensitive. Tap on to clear the current search term.

Enter a search term and tap on to start the global search. All hits in the global search areas (e.g. companies, persons, activities) are displayed.

Tap on a list heading to display the list of results in just that info area.

Click on one of the info areas under Search by to search in a specific info area.

Tap on , e.g. next to Companies to search in a specific info area. The search only searches in the selected info area and displays the results, for example, the matching companies. When searching in a specific info area, the system searches for the search term in the search fields defined for the info area (e.g. Company, Synonym, Country, City and Postal Code for companies).

Tap on in a list to search in the current info area (e.g. search for companies). Apply or remove filters by clicking on them or to return to the global search. The search term is only searched for in the current info area. Filters are applied to the search as additional criteria (using a logical AND) alongside your search term.
