Prompt Support Updated by Prompt Support

How are search results returned in Prompt?

  1. PRIMARY RESULT When you type in a keyword, for example, 'medication', Prompt will search the document title first. Your document title or naming convention is extremely important to ensure the best search results are returned to enhance the user experience.
  2. SECONDARY RESULT If Prompt is unable to locate an exact match in the document title, the search will then move throughout the body of the document

Search Tips and Tricks

Query

Example

Notes

Single term

vaccination

Searches for documents that contain "vaccination".

Multiple term

employee vaccination

Searches for documents that contain either "employee" OR "vaccination". Those containing both appear higher in the results than those with just one.

Phrase

"employee vaccination"

Searches for documents that contain the exact phrase "employee vaccination".

Wildcard search (*)

vacc*

Multi-character wildcard search returning documents with "vaccination" or "vaccine" or "vaccinal" etc. Unlike ? (below) the * wildcard can only be used at the end.

Wildcard character search (?)

defin?tely

Single-character wildcard search. It will match "definitely" or "definately" but not "defineatly".

OR operator

employee OR vaccination

Searches for documents that contain either "employee" OR "vaccination". Same as multiple term.

AND operator

employee AND vaccination

Searches for documents that contain both "employee" AND "vaccination".

Grouping

(important OR office) AND document

Use parentheses for expression grouping. The example would return any documents containing "important document" and any with "office document".

Fuzzy Search (~)

vaccination~

Search based on similar spelling, which would also find documents with the word misspelt as "vacination".
