Field

Required?
|
Description
|
||
Set by an administrator
|
Whether the Keyword field is required depends on the com.ptc.windchill.enterpise.search.advancesearch.enableEmptySearch property.
• Disabled—You must provide either a keyword value or an attribute field value under Criteria.
• Enabled—You are not required to provide a keyword. However, if you do not provide a keyword, then you must limit your search in one of the following ways:
◦ Select only one object type.
◦ Select only one context or one folder.
◦ Provide a value for at least one attribute field under Criteria.
Check with an administrator to verify whether this property is enabled. For more information, see Windchill Search Properties.

• Entering a single asterisk into the Keyword field has the same effect as leaving the keyword field blank. • If you enter a single question mark (?) wildcard instead, your results would vary depending on whether you have Windchill Index Search installed and enabled: ◦ Non-indexed search—The search results would be limited to objects that have a single character name or number. For example, an object named “A.” ◦ Indexed search—All objects that include an attribute field with a single character value would be returned. For example, if you had an attribute measuring time and used an “s” to indicate seconds. Similarly, the search would return any objects that have primary content files which include a single character. For more information, see Search Wildcards. |

If you are using Windchill Index Search with default preference settings, this search would return results that include the word “gear” in any attribute value or as text in any primary content file. For more information, see Keyword Search Rules. |
