How does Quick Search work?
This is a feature to see at a glance the information available in all Knowledge Areas of Investigator Portal. The Quick Search searches across the most relevant text-based fields in each Knowledge Area. It does not search across date fields or Y/N fields. Do not use hyphens or apostrophes in search terms; instead, use an asterisk as a substitute for one or more characters. An asterisk can also be used as a truncation indicator on either the left or the right. When entering a company code drug name, omit the hyphen: Ex: FK506.
Simply type a keyword to search through most fields within a record. Fields include, common name, description, subject, and date. Example: Quick Search: Tropical. Searches are not case sensitive, e.g. TROPICAL, Tropical, tropical are identical searches. You can use ‘and’ or ‘OR’ between searches for more control over your search results: e.g. “tropical and water”, “tropical or island”.
