Dialog box for managing search groups
The dialog box for managing search groups appears when selecting the
Content-Aware Group command from the
Insert menu in the
Search box on the search page (see
Steps to perform a search), or when clicking the
Content Database button next to the
Query field on the page for configuring a search task’s query (see
Setting up the search query).
The dialog box lists the groups from the server’s Content Database. For each group, the list displays the name and type of the group along with the Indexable check box. The list can be filtered by selecting the desired group type in the Show field under the list. The list holds only the groups of the type selected in the Show field.
The Indexable check box affects only Pattern groups and Complex groups that include Pattern groups. For other group types, it is always selected and cannot be cleared. Selecting this check box for a particular Pattern/Complex group causes the search index to include additional information in order to provide that group with the following advanced search capabilities:
•Regular expressions to search for text fragments consisting of multiple words and/or groups of digits separated by spaces or punctuation marks. Without the Indexable check mark, the Pattern group is only capable to search for a single word or sequence of digits.
•The
Validation,
Case sensitive,
Visual anti-spoofing, and
Cyrillic transliteration search options (for option descriptions, see
Setting up, viewing or changing a Pattern group). Without the
Indexable check mark, these options have no effect.
•The characters ^ and $ to match the beginning and end of a line. Without the Indexable check mark, the search index does not contain information about line feeds, so expressions containing the beginning-of-line character (^) and/or end-of-line character ($) will not work.
After selecting the
Indexable check box, the advanced search capabilities are available only on newly indexed data. To extend them to previously indexed data, a new search index must be created. Follow the instruction in
Rebuilding the index on demand, and click
Yes in the confirmation message box to create a new search index in place of the existing one (this can take a long time).
Important: •Selecting the Indexable check box may increase the time required to build the search index by several times. •For groups that do not require advanced search capabilities, the Indexable check box is selected by default and cannot be cleared. This does not affect the index build time. •The advanced search capabilities do not extend to previously indexed data that is not on the server at the time of creating a new search index after selecting the Indexable check box (for example, documents deleted from the Shadow Log). |
In the dialog box for managing search groups, one can perform the following tasks:
•Add one or more groups to the search query. Select the desired group/s in the list and click Add, or double-click the desired group.
•Create a new group or view/change settings of an existing group:
•To create a new group using the default settings, click the arrow next to the Add Group button and select the desired type of group.
•To create a new group using the settings of another already existing group, select this group in the list and click the Duplicate button.
Note: Duplication is frequently used to create editable copies of built-in groups. |
•To view or change the settings of an existing group, select that group in the list and click the Edit Group button (for groups created by an administrator) or the View Group button (for built-in groups, which are not allowed to change).
As a result, a dialog box appears to set, view, or change group settings.
•Delete a group that was created earlier by an administrator. Select the group in the list and click the Delete Group button. For built-in groups, this button is unavailable, as DeviceLock does not allow deleting its built-in groups.
When creating, duplicating, viewing, or editing a group, the console employs a unified dialog box for managing the settings of groups of the given type. These settings per group type are described in the following sections:
