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.
Grouping
Lucene supports grouping clauses to form sub-queries.

Grouping

Lucene supports grouping clauses to form sub-queries.

Lucene supports using parentheses to group clauses to form sub-queries. This is useful for controlling the Boolean logic in a query.

Examples:

To search for records that contain either Beta1 or Beta2 and the number 7.1, use the following query:
```
(Beta1 OR Beta2) AND 7.1
```
To search for records with a Headline field that contains both the term Beta1 and the phrase Beta2 test, use the following query:
```
Headline:(+Beta1 +"Beta2 test")
```
