| Instead of searching an entire document, you can limit your search to specific zones in a document. |
| Zones are specific regions of documents that can be searched. The
zones that are available for searching depend on the types of documents in
the collection and the configuration of the system. Zones are available in
Markup
Language documents (such as HTML and SGML) and Internet
Message Format documents (such as standard email and Usenet newsgroup
messages. To search a document zone, type the name of the zone, a colon (:), and the search terms. |
| Search Term | Finds Pages That Contain |
|---|---|
| h1:Mississippi | The word Mississippi in the <H1> tag of an HTML document |
| +title:"Betsy Lang" photography | The phrase Betsy Lang in the title and possibly the word photography |
| Fields contain document metadata and are stored in the document
collection. The fields that are available for searching depend on the
types of documents in the collection. To search a document field, type the name of the field, a colon (:), and the search terms. |
NOTE: Field searches are enabled by an entry in a configuration file located in /verity/common/english. For Information Server V5.0, the file is named vdk30.qp. For Information Server V3.7, the file is named vdk20.qp. This configuration file must be present and it must contain this modifier in order for field searching to perform properly:
/config="enableField=YES"
If the /config modifier does not appear in the configuration file as shown
above, you must add this entry. If the modifier is not present, field searches
return no documents.
