Searching Wiki Text Fields
You can search for formatted text (with markup) within wiki fields such as Description or custom wiki text fields.
After adding a wiki field such as Description in a filter, select the COMPLETE TEXT SEARCH option. This operator can only be used with Text operators such as like and equals, and NOT and EMPTY options.
To enable the
COMPLETE TEXT SEARCH option,
plain-text-search-activated must be set to
true in
Application Configuration. For more information, see
"search" and "indexer" section. Once
plain-text-search-activated has been set to
true, PTC recommends that you do not change this value.
The corresponding cbQL operators for this option are as follows:
• For like: PLIKE
• For like with NOT: NOT PLIKE
• For equals: P=
• For equals with NOT: P!=
For instance, the corresponding query snippet with the like operator and NOT option is as follows:
description NOT PLIKE '%mysearchtext%'
The COMPLETE TEXT SEARCH option is available on the following pages:
• Reports
• Tracker View
• Table View (including column filter)
• Document View
• Document Edit View
• Cardboard
• Traceability Report
• Coverage Browser
• Release Tracker (Planner and Kanban Board)
• Test Cases & Sets tab on the Test Sets tracker page
• Reference Selector window
• Widgets
If a text field is changed to a wiki text field, the wiki text field information might not appear in the search results if the COMPLETE TEXT SEARCH option is used. For such wiki text field information to appear in the results, the field must be updated and saved once.
| The COMPLETE TEXT SEARCH option is not available in global search. |
