Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Words and Phrases
| Search for | Example | Results |
|---|---|---|
| A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
|
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Using Boolean Operators
| Search for | Operator | Example |
|---|---|---|
|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
| Either word in a topic |
|
|
| Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
| Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
| A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Adjust the field weight for IDOL search
As a system administrator, you can include certain fields to the IDOL index by manually adding the Weight parameter to these fields. In addition, you can also adjust the value of the Weight parameter to balance the weight of index.
The Title field is used as an example in the following steps. To adjust the weight for the Title field in IDOL, follow these steps:
- Log on to the Red Hat system as the root user.
-
Open <Smart Analytics Installation>/Content-SMSP/Content-SMSP.cfg, and then add the
Weightproperty to the[TitleFields]section as follows:[TitleFields] Index=TRUE TitleType=TRUE SourceType=TRUE Weight=4Note The weight value ranges from 0 to 16. Updating this value will impact all IDOL modules and you must re-index all catalog items.
-
Run the following command to restart the IDOL service:
service idol-content-smsp restart -
Run the following command to re-index all catalog items:
java -jar lib/catalog.jar reindexNote The re-index operation will impact the search function because all catalog items in IDOL will be cleaned and indexed again during this process.
