Link Group Comments Search Syntax

Advanced search syntax can be used to search for a particular word or phrase in the link group comments assigned to documents. All advanced search types can be customized with advanced search operators and wildcards.

Link group comment searches are performed as indexed searches by default in Laserfiche client applications, but may also be performed as non-indexed searches by choosing the correct operator. The examples below show the operator for the default search, which for these search types is indexed search. You can perform these searches as non-indexed searches by replacing the indexed search operator (~=) with the non-indexed search operator (=). See Indexed and Non-Indexed Searches and Operators for more information.

Value is the word or phrase in the comments that you want to search for. (To search for a phrase, enclose the phrase in single quotes within the double quotes of the syntax.)

The following sample search will find all documents whose link group comment contains the word "Draft", using indexed search.

  • {LF:LinkGroupComment~="Draft"}

The following sample search will find all documents whose link group comment contains the phrase "Needs review", using indexed search (note that, as this is a phrase search, the phrase has been enclosed in single quotes within the standard double quotes).

  • {LF:LinkGroupComment~="'Needs review'"}

The following sample search will find all documents whose link group comment is the word "Draft" exactly, using non-indexed search.

  • {LF:LinkGroupComment="Draft"}
