Using your HCL Compass Web client
HCL Compass Web is a browser-based interface to HCL Compass that runs on Windows, the UNIX system, and Linux. You can track defects and change requests in HCL Compass Web through this interface. When a session times out, you can re-authenticate and continue where you left off because the state of the user interface is retained.
Using records to store change requests
Finding and viewing records
HCL Compass offers several methods to find and view records in your user database.
Find records by using full-text search
When full-text search is enabled, you can find records by using the rich search syntax offered by the underlying Lucene information retrieval library technologies.
Lucene query terminology and syntax
The HCL Compass full-text search feature uses industry-standard Web-based search syntax provided by the underlying Lucene information retrieval library technologies. This section describes the Lucene query terminology and syntax and provides usage examples.
Fields
By default, when you run a search query, it is evaluated across all fields in the user database associated with the record types indexed by Lucene.

Fields

By default, when you run a search query, it is evaluated across all fields in the user database associated with the record types indexed by Lucene.

To search within a specific field, use the colon (:) separator between the field name and the search term.

Attention: Field names are case sensitive and must match the field names in the user database. For example, the query search Headline:business is not the same as the search headline:business.

Examples:

To search on the term business within the Headline field, use the following query:
```
Headline:business
```
To search on the phrase business report within the Headline field, use the following query:
```
Headline:"business report"
```
