Searching and search results

Searching and search results are dependent on the content management systems that IBM® eDiscovery Manager users access and on the content archives under those content management systems. This section covers configuration information and limitations in the content management systems and content archives that can impact the search experience of your users.

Search result count: After running a search using eDiscovery Manager, you can find out how many results the search yielded by clicking Get Result Count. The current count is displayed and the progress bar is at 0%. If there is only one item type being queried, the progress bar does not advance as the count is determined; it moves from 0% to 100% when IBM Content Manager returns the count. If there are multiple item types being queried, the progress bar advances incrementally, taking one step for each item type. The difference in progress bar behavior for the number of item types is due to a limitation in IBM Content Manager.
