About full-text searches
Contents
Full-text searching includes additional advanced search features that allow you to write longer full-text queries. A Full Text Search dialog box features a larger Search Text box than the Search field so you can easily preview and edit the search string before running it. The Link Assistant is also automatically enabled in the Search Text box so you can type search queries faster when you want to use short names.
With full-text searches you can also do the following:
| • | Restrict searches to selected spreadsheets |
| • | View or run previous searches |
When writing full-text search queries, you will want to learn how to use search operators that help provide precise search results. For more information, see Using search operators.

If you want to eliminate short names from your searches, you can disable the Search Link Assistant setting in File > Options > Searching. This setting is enabled by default to ensure you are gathering all relevant data based on search terms in your case records and linked files. |
