In addition to the search criteria a user enters, a Content Search in Directa uses additional features such as thesaurus files and proximity control.
Click Content from the Search menu in Directa Manager.
Use the dialog to create a search based on the following search criteria. You can specify information for all appropriate fields to construct the most efficient search.
Although an asterisk (*) can be used by itself or as the leading character when performing a search using FTR, it is recommended to use a character to the left of this operator to enhance performance.
