Other Search functions

The Also Search function 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.

The Also Search Registry entry is used to specify which additional fields are searched.

To disable Also Search when performing a search, place a percentage (%) sign before the search term.

For example, a search for %Smith in First: (Person Details) will only search for Smith in First: (Person Details).

As we see in Search an attachment field, when we enter values in an attachment field, two searches are performed:

1. First the target module An attachment is made from a record in one module to a record in the same or another module. The module from which the attachment is initiated is the Primary module; the module that is attached is called the Target. is searched for the specified value.
2. If a record is found, a value is returned and the primary An attachment is made from one record to another. The record from which the attachment is initiated is the Primary record; the record that is attached is called the Target. module is searched using that value.

The Show Attach function shows the TexQL Query statement of the first search (the search to be performed in the target module).
