What does a text search return in Activities?
Some fields that contain the text string are not found when you perform a full text search on your activities and entries.When you perform a full text search, it finds the string if it is present in a title, uniform resource identifier (URI) of a file, bookmark URI, bookmark title, text field, or a field label. The search can also find the text if it is present in the first 2 KB of the comment or description field.
The following limitations apply when performing a full text search:
- Search will not find text that comes after the first 2 KB of text in a comment or description field. To determine where the 2 KB threshold falls, look for the text that does not display until after you click [more] in the Description field.
- Search does not find tags or dates.
Tip: To find activities or entries that use a certain tag, click the tag from the Tags list or cloud.
- Search does not find names in name fields.
Tip: To find activities that you share with a person, click the person's name from the People list. To find entries created by a person, from within an activity, click the person's name from the Members list.
- Search does not support the use of wildcard characters.
- Search text is not case-sensitive.
