Search All Documents
The Search All Documents feature provides the ability to search all Purchasing, Payment, and Travel documents in one place. It also provides the ability to search by words or numbers within certain fields in the documents.
New Features
1. Search for ANY or ALL of the following words
The ANY function will find documents that have any of the search criteria in the same document. For example, entering the criteria “Japan” and “Office” and selecting “ANY” will return documents that have either Japan OR Office in any of the fields.
The ALL function will find documents that have all of the search criteria in the same document. For example, entering the criteria “Japan” and “Office” and selecting “ALL” will return documents that have Japan AND Office in any of the fields for the same document.
2. Multi search criteria
The number of words that can be searched for at one time has increased from 2 to 4 words.
3. Exact word matches
The ability to search for an exact word within search fields. For example, using the default search and entering the criteria “art” without using Exact Word Match may return documents with words that contain the word “art” (for example, chart, depart, participate, etc.). However, entering the criteria
“art” with Exact Word Match will return only documents with the specific word “art” (for example, art supplies).

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Q: What is the difference between Search Documents (Search PO, Search Payment, and Search Travel) and Search All Documents? I did a search in Search Payments and Search All Documents and my results were different.
A: The Search PO Documents, Search Payments, and Search Travel Documents will only perform a basic search on the fields in the listing screens (PO #, Payment Request #, Document #, Project #, Vendor Name, Check #, etc.). The Search All Documents will search on the fields in the listing screens, in addition to searching within specified fields in the documents (Descriptions, Reasons for Payment, Internal Comments, etc.). For example, searching for “Dell” in Search Payments will produce a list of payments to vendor names that contain Dell, such as Dell, Inc. and Dell Marketing. However, searching for “Dell” in Search All Documents will produce a list that may include payments to Bankcard Center for a Dell computer.
2. Q: Are we able to use wildcard (*) search functions?
A: No. However, the default search already performs a wildcard search similar to using * in that it matches characters in a word. For example, entering the criteria “UH” may return documents with words that contain “UH” (for example, UH Bookstore, RCUH, etc.).
3. Q: Will the search criteria keywords be highlighted in the document?
A: No. We suggest using the Find function in your web browser.
