Overview​

Search queries are carried out through different fields of the Cotalker environment, making it easier and more efficient to find and display results. Search fields include: user, channel, properties, task names, additional task information, and shared documents.

When accessed through the Tool Bar, search queries are global, i.e., made throughout the entire environment.

Search Query Scope​

The scope of search queries is bounded to the following fields:

  • Users: Search through the user names found in the company's Cotalker environment. Bots also have user accounts.
  • Channels: Search through channel names.
  • Properties: Search by names of properties, also known as elements. Properties (elements) are the components of collections (databases or property types).
  • Tasks: Queries search through task names and the additional information field. When searching through tasks' additional information, a process called stemming – which reduces words to their stem or root – is used, allowing a broader range of results.
