Question Search-2 - Question Search

Video Transcription

First thing you will notice on this page is search box. Search box typically are used to search on question IDs and titles.  For example, if this is a question ID is what we refer to as the identity field of the question.  So anytime you click on the question itself, as a matter of fact, you can see that there's a question ID. In this example is 23660 and you can also see it is displayed here.  So this ID is quite important because anytime we refer to question ID, that is what Oasis refers to.  Question title, on the other hand, is any value as long as it is unique across the system, Oasis will allow it. So sometimes our client use a naming convention.  Sometimes our client use a format that makes sense to them. In either case, if I just search here and then click on search, you will come back with exact match here.  And if he happens to match the title, you will also return any question that matches the title.  With that said, there's a couple other things I want to mention about question search. First is, so for example, this question has the word, for example, 17-year-old boy.  OK, so we're going to say 17-year-old boy. By default, the system does not search within the question itself.  However, if that becomes important to you, you can click on exhaustive search and click on search.  Obviously, exhaustive search is going to be a little bit, takes a while to search because it's actually searched through the content of the question instead of the key fields of the question.  But notice that the more things is going to be returned. And in this case, we're using, we probably are tokenized the search term.  But as you can see, you can check exhaustive search to search the inside the question itself. You can click on X to clear the search, to perform the search again.  And you can click on history to find any questions, any searches you have performed.  You can also save a particular search to say this one is a search I made, let's say questions I liked.  And then that become a name search so you can rerun this search in the future. What's nice about saving searches is the criteria is served, not the result.  So you can rerun the same search as before so that you know you can get different result.  Last but not least, keep in mind that you can search on title, ID and title.  You can also search keyword, author and unchecking the box will be much faster because you're searching on just the content of the question. Thank you.
