Using your HCL Compass Web client

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.
Terms
Lucene defines a query as comprising terms and operators.

Terms

Lucene defines a query as comprising terms and operators.

Terms are classified into two categories, single terms and phrases. A single term is a single word such as spell or error. A phrase is a group of two or more words delimited by double quotation marks, such as business report. You can combine multiple terms by using Boolean operators to form a more complex query.

By default, Lucene is case insensitive when it searches on terms. This means that a search on the terms business, Business, and BUSINESS will all generate the same result set.
