Introduction

The search feature in Exact Synergy Enterprise allows the searching for feeds and comments via the Feeds entity available on the drop-down menu.

This document describes the settings that need to be defined to enable the search and other useful information related to this feature. This document contains the following sections:

Defining the search provider

To enable the searching for feeds, a search provider has to be defined at Modules ? System ? Setup ? Social Collaboration ? Settings. With the Administrator role, you can access this page to select a search provider.

If this option is selected, there will be no results displayed for the search.

Elastic Search

If this option is selected, you will be able to search for the following properties:

  • Texts in feeds or comments.
  • The names of the people who created the feeds or comments.
  • The names of the attached files.
  • The names of the entities of the attached files (such as the title of the document, item code, or name of account).

If this option is selected, an additional field called URL will be displayed. Type the URL for the elastic search in this field.

More about your search results

The number of feeds that match the text defined will be indicated at the top of the page. The feeds that are displayed include posts and comments that are hidden, shared to you in public groups (of which you are or are not a member), and shared to you in private groups (of which you are or are not a member).

The text that you have searched for will be displayed in bold if it is part of the feed or comment. This does not apply to hyperlinks in the feeds or feeds that serve as notifications.

In addition, you can perform the following actions:

  • Access the Timeline page by clicking the Timeline hyperlink.
  • Filter the search results by selecting an option at the Show field. You can include all feeds in the search results, or only feeds posted today, last week, or last month.
