Description
Different Portlets' Search features behave differently.
There are 40+ Search Bars in various portlets in Portal, plus any others in Plugins. I didn't take the time to test all of these. I would guess that most are using the pattern of the Bookmarks portlet.
I wouldn't be the one to say which way is correct. There are aspects of the examples below that are useful. I'm unsure if there are other search behaviors.
- Bookmarks: Appears to NOT support "like" searches by default, and instead requires the use of a wildcard ( * ). But the wildcard is only supported on the right, not the left. Also it appears that it's using a [word OR word] search.
- Document Library (Documents & Media) > Document Types: Appears TO support "like" searches by default, but not the usage of wildcards ( * ). Also it appears that it's using a [whole phrase] search.
Examples
Bookmarks:
- Test One
- Test Two
- New One
- New Two
- Newer Three
Bookmarks Portlet Search:
- new = 2 results
- ne = 0 results
- ne* = 3 results
- t* = 4 results
- t = 0 results
- *t = 0 results
- new three = 3 results
- new t* = 5 results
- n* three = 3 results
Document Types:
- Test One
- Test Two
- New One
- New Two
- Newer Three
Document Library (Documents & Media) Portlet > Document Types Search:
- new = 3 results
- ne = 4 results
- ne* = 0 results
- t* = 0 results
- t = 4 results
- *t = 0 results
- new three = 0 results
- new t* = 0 results
- n* three = 0 results
