Guidelines on conducting effective searches

For the best results when conducting searches, follow these guidelines:

  • Make searches precise. For example, include the author or recipient details, or specify date ranges.

  • In the properties of the department, limit the number of searchable vault stores.

  • Only use wildcards when necessary, as they can severely affect performance.

  • Avoid overusing search terms. Thousands of terms can cause iterative searches.

  • Ensure that scheduled searches do not run at the same time as system backups.

  • Quickly accept or reject searches to avoid filling and slowing the database.

  • Test new searches in research folders, and then delete the folders as necessary.
