7.5.1 Comparing Search Results

Like other search engines, the GroupWise search engine creates an index of whole words that are
contained in the items being searched. When you search with Global Find
your search criteria and attempts to match them with the words in the search index. Because Global
Find searches for whole words, Global Find does not locate punctuation or partial words unless you
use a wildcard character.

mountain AND goat, and mountain goat all find items containing the words
"mountain" and "goat."
All items that meet one of two or more conditions. For example, mountain
goat and mountain OR goat both find items containing "mountain" or "goat" or
both words.
All items containing one condition but not the other. For example, mountain !
goat and mountain NOT goat both find items containing the word "mountain"
but not the word "goat." Items that contain both are not included.
All text found within quotation marks. For example, "mountain goats" finds all
items containing the phrase "mountain goats." This does not work with
documents or document references.

word "john," "joan," "join," and so on.

containing the words "mountain," "mountains," "mountainous," and so on.
Items containing a specific word, regardless of case. For example, /NOCASE
