Customizing Search Preferences

You can customize your search options – the indexes to be searched, the number of matches to
display, the default result view, and the fields displayed – using the Preferences option.
To display the Preferences page:
1. Choose Preferences from the Search option in the Tools menu. This can also be selected
from the Search drop-down on the toolbar, or the Search Home page.
2. Select the precision you want to use when looking for documents that match your search
query. If you check "Exact word", the search will only return documents that contain the
exact words you entered. If you check "Variation of word endings", search will return
documents with words derived from the words you entered in addition to the exact
matches. For example, if you are looking for "contract", and Variation of word endings
has been selected, search will return documents containing "contractor", "contracts" and
"contracting" in addition to documents containing "contract". If Exact word has been
selected, only documents containing "contract" will be returned.
Note: In general, searches only find whole words, i.e. those with spaces or punctuation
on either side of them. Even with "Variation of word endings" turned on in the above
example, if you are searching for "contr", search will not return files that contain
"contract", "contractor", or "contracting". Use the wildcard characters to find these
words, i.e. search for "contr*" rather than "contr".
3. Select which Indexes you want searched by default. Click All to select all databases.
4. If you want the Favorites selection button to appear in the Search For box, check the
Display list of Favorite Search Terms box. This box must be checked to be able to
manage the list using the Favorites button on the Advanced Search display. If the
