When a Resource item is uploaded into IntelligenceBank, it is automatically indexed for search.
Users can search by keywords and retrieve matches by default on the Title, Description, Keywords, Content, Unique Id, Text Based Custom Upload Fields & Embedded Metadata* of Resources.
How Search Works
IntelligenceBank search is designed to return the most relevant results:
Multi-keyword matching: When you search with multiple keywords, search requires a minimum percentage of keywords to match and ranks results higher when those keywords appear together as phrases. For two-keyword searches, both words must match. For three or more keywords, at least 70% must match (for example, 2 out of 3 words, or 3 out of 5 words). Results showing matching keywords together as phrases are ranked highest.
Automatic word variations: Search automatically recognizes word variations including plurals, verb tenses, and word endings. Searching for "running shoes" will also find "runner shoes," "run shoes," and "running shoe" without needing to type each variation.
Search results are ranked by match relevance. You can quickly see where in the title, description, filters, content or metadata the keyword has matched the item.
Search Fields
Select Fields & Filters can also be matched with a free text query, but need to be surrounded by "" if the field value has multiple words. Only results where all the words are inputted will be matched. For better results, use the dropdowns in the Filters section of the search side panel. Note that Select Fields & Filters matches can only be identified via free text search when using the platform, not the API.
Date fields are also searchable via the date based filtering conditions in the search side panel.

Boolean Operators
Boolean operators AND, OR and NOT can improve your search results by combining or limiting terms. Boolean logic is a system of showing relationships between sets by using the words "AND," "OR," and "NOT."
Examples:
| Operator | Search Term | IntelligenceBank Notes |
|---|---|---|
| None | ying yang | ying yang : both words must match. Results where they appear together as a phrase are ranked higher |
| None (3+ keywords) | ying yang zen | ying yang zen : at least 2 out of 3 words must match (70% minimum). Results where matching words appear together as phrases are ranked higher |
| Quotations | "ying yang" | "ying yang" : any documents that contain the exact phrase "ying yang" |
| And | ying AND yang | ying AND yang : any documents that must contain both the words ying and yang |
| And (no space) | ying ANDyang | ying ANDyang : any documents that contain the word ying OR the word ANDyang |
| And (combination) | ying AND "yang" | ying AND "yang" : any documents that must contain both the words ying and yang |
| And (no spaces) | yingANDyang | yingANDyang : any documents that contain the word yingANDyang |
| Or | ying OR yang | ying OR yang : any documents that contain the word yang or the word ying (at least one must match) |
| Not | ying NOT yang | ying NOT yang : any documents that contain the word ying but not the word yang |
Note: All queries displayed above are case sensitive and need to be executed exactly as displayed.
Wildcards
You can use wildcards (*) on either end of a search word to return partial word results:
*manwill match "woman"man*will match "mannequin"*man*will match any word which includes the characters "man", so either "woman" or "mannequin"
Underscore Character Handling
When searching, underscores (_) in the filename are treated as spaces if they match characters in the title. Therefore, when conducting a search, underscores are automatically excluded from consideration and should not be included in the search. Including them might inadvertently exclude relevant results.
