Searching with Comparison Operators

Do you want to find all the references in your project that were published after 2016? Or references that don't yet have location information? You can use comparison operators to create a very precise search in both the Quick search and Advanced search.

Greater Than and Less Than

Use these operators to find references published within a particular time span:

> Greater than

< Less than

>= Greater than or equal

<= Less than or equal

Examples:

Please note

If you're searching fields that contain a month or day in addition to the year, for example "5-2017" or 5/15/2017, you must enter a complete date in the search field, for example ">01.01.2017"

Empty and Not Empty

To restrict a search to references with a field that is empty (or not empty, i.e. with any content in the field), use the exclamation point or asterisk:

! Is empty

* Is not empty

Examples:

Advanced

To find references (search shortcut rc) or knowledge items (search shortcut kic) within a specific category or sub-category, enter the number of the category (in the examples below: 4) and then add one or two plus signs.
