Other Search functions

The Also Search function is configured by the EMu Administrator. It specifies any additional fields that should be searched using the search terms entered in a particular field. For example, when you enter a search term in the First: (Person Details) field in the Parties module, the Also Search function can be configured to search the Other Names: (Person Details) field for that same value.

See Also Search Registry entry for details about configuring an Also Search.

How to disable an Also Search

To disable the Also Search facility, precede a search term (or list of search terms) with a percent (%) sign.

For example, an Also Search could be specified in the Parties module so that searching the Summary Data field will also search the Other Names field. A search for smith in the Summary Data field will then also search the Other Names field for smith. If %Smith is entered in the Summary Data field, only the Summary Data field will be searched.
