Best practices - Using the search engine

For begginers, see the Sinequa EHS portal e-learning module: Sinequa EHS

The Sinequa interface is the same for all search engines listed here.

1. Type your keyword in the search field

2. You can use several filters to refine your search

3. Use the 'Refine Search' box to search within the results returned on the right (different than a new search which will trigger an entirely new search)

4. Advanced search features (Note that the features can be different between each search engine)

EHS Sinequa search engine :

ABSIS Sinequa search engine :

• If the * wildcard is not used, the fields in the “Advanced Search” form will only return those records that have an exact match in the first word
o For example, if user entered “SECURITE” in the “Title” field, only those records that have “SECURITE” as the first word in the “Title” will be returned in the search results
o If the first word of the title is “SECURITE”, it will be returned in the search results
o If the first word of the title is “XXXSECURITE” or “SECURITEZZZ” or “XXXSECURITE ZZZ”, it will not be returned in the search results

• If the * wildcard is used, the fields in the “Advanced Search” form will only return those records that begin with the word
o For example, if user entered “SECURITE*” in the “Title” field, all records that begin with “SECURITE” in the “Title” will be returned in the search results
o If the title begins with “SECURITE” or “SECURITEZZZ”, it will be returned in the search results
o If the title begins with “XXXSECURITE” or “XXXSECURITE ZZZ”, it will not be returned in the search results.
o if user entered “SECURITE or “*SECURITE” in the “Title” field, no record will be returned because the * wildcard can only be used at the end of the word
