Advanced Search
     

The advanced search functionality is used to refine the search parameters.
It also provides search results based on the following three parameters.

  1. Criteria
  2. Scope
  3. Filter

 



Criteria

Specify how the search key words are to be treated. Three options are provided.
  • Any Word: Pages with any word in search keyword specified are returned.
  • Exact phrase: Only pages with the exact entered search key phrase are returned.
  • All the words: Only pages with all the words in the entered keyword are returned.
By default SamePage does an "OR" search and returns results with pages having "ANY" of the keyword specified.
