Text search in MI Viewer

You can search for single words or phrases in record and folder names, Short Text data, and Discrete text data.

Rapid, full-text search capabilities in MI Viewer are provided by the Elasticsearch search engine, which is integrated into Granta MI.

  • Search terms are reduced to their root form, so a search for "marage" will find records containing the terms "marage", "maraged", and "maraging".
  • Full-text queries are not case-sensitive. For example, searching for "Aluminum" or "aluminum" returns the same results.
  • Non-alphanumeric characters in the search query are treated as a space (unless they are a reserved character). So the search criteria "Steels/Stainless" is equivalent to "steels stainless".
  • In keyword searches, you can include wildcards and query string operators.

Search suggestions are provided as you type, with suggested search terms from text data in record and folder names, Short Text Attributes, and Discrete Attributes.
