Configure Searches

By default, the Quick Search box in the toolbar does not search in document content. Besides the Name and Quick Search options, the default Find form of PowerWeb includes only three properties that cannot be changed by users. These may not meet your organization's search needs.

ClosedConfigure Quick Search

To configure Quick Search:

  1. Open the Windows registry of the Meridian web server in Registry Editor and locate the following key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cyco\AutoManager Meridian\Current Version\WebLink

  2. Set the value data of the QuickFindScope value to one of the following:

    • 0: Search all text properties (default)

    • 1: Search all text properties and full-text index

    • 2: Search the Name property only

  3. Restart the World Wide Web Publishing (IIS) service to activate your changes.

ClosedConfigure Find Form

To configure the Find form:

  1. Open the Windows registry of the Meridian web server in Registry Editor and locate the following key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cyco\AutoManager Meridian\Current Version\WebLink\UserPreferences\Default\Find Templates

    The values named 1, 2, and 3 correspond to the first three properties shown on the Find page, respectively.

  2. To search a different property, change the value of one to the name of the desired property set and property name.

  3. To add more properties, create new string values (named 4 and higher), and type the property set name and property name as the data.

  4. When you are finished defining the property names, update the value of PropertyCount with the total number of properties, for example 4.

    If you define more than 8 properties, be sure to specify PropertyCount with the correct Base option of Decimal.

  5. For each property, specify the default search operator by creating a corresponding DWORD value named <n>.Operator where <n> represents the property number.

    Specify the value data as the numeric value of one of the IC_OP_OPERATOR constants listed in the following table. Again, be sure to select the correct Base option of Decimal. If no operator is specified, the default operator Contains is used. For example, to set the Equals operator for the first search property, create a DWORD value named 1.Operator and set it to 1.

  6. Restart the World Wide Web Publishing (IIS) service to display your changes.
