Learn to use correct search syntax, and perform searches
of your calendar, contacts, other applications, and the internet,
all from within Notes.
Which type of search syntax should I use?
By default, Search employs a web-style syntax; that is,
if you enter several words to search on, the documents returned in
the result set will contain those words, but not necessarily in the
order specified in the Search field. It is equivalent to using an
AND operator between each word in the search query. If you prefer
Notes-style syntax, you can change it.
How can I save and reuse a "More" search query?
When using the More section of search, you can set up and
save a private search query and use it later if you have Reader access
to the application and the option Create Personal Agents is
enabled for you in the ACL. This is useful if you want to perform
the same search again later.
How can I search my Calendar?
If you want to find items in your calendar, you can search
your calendar in much the same way you search for documents in any
application.
How can I find contacts or Internet e-mail addresses?
You can search your Contacts (Notes® application
directories on Domino® servers), or Internet directories for
contact names or Internet e-mail addresses. Once you find a contact
name (except for in an Internet directory), you can view detailed
information about the contact, and add it to your Contacts list.
How can I use the Search Site application?
Search Site is a feature from a previous release of Lotus Notes that your organization may
use instead of Domain Search, if your administrator has not yet set
up Domain Search. You can use a search site application to search
for documents containing specified text in multiple applications defined
by the administrator of the search site application.
How can I search IBM Connections?
Lotus® Connections
is social networking software for the workplace. Search Activities
and other Connections features for a name, word, or phrase that you
specify.
