Basic Live Search - using GUI
This below article explains you different ways to search the data in Exelare Live Search Bar with operators using GUI.
All of these: Searches for data
that just contains the words you selected without being the exact phrase. You
can select (i.e., check) as many keywords as you want.
Any of these: Useful when
searching multiple keywords. For example, you can find records that contain the
word Product, Marketing or Java Developer.
Starts With: Searches for data
that starts with the word you selected.
Exact: Shows only records
with exact phrases that you selected (Ex: =SQL Server)
Contains: Searches for data
that has the word anywhere in the field. It behaves kind of like a wild card.
(Ex: *Product)
1) Let’s say you want to search for “Product” and “Marketing” in “Other Skills” field. You can use the operators “Starts With” – “All of these”.
To search
for "Marketing
and Product",

operator
The EXACT operator can be used to retrieve records that match your
search term precisely.
For example: To search for EXACT keyword “Technology”. Choose the operator “Exact” in the Filters. This search will return results which have "Technology" in the field, but will exclude data that feature this phrase as part of a longer entry, such as "Technology Lead" or "Technology Consultant" etc.
To search for EXACT word in Exelare:

Exelare, click the drop-down next to the field (Ex: JobTitle)
- At the bottom of the popup window, choose “Exact” under Filters.
- Check the lookup values (Ex: Director)
- Click on OK.
Results: This does not show the records where job title like Director – Consulting Services, Director Global Recruiting etc.
4) Truncation/Wildcard:
Use
the truncation symbols to create searches where you want to retrieve all
variants of a word stem. The most commonly used truncation symbol is the
asterisk (*). For example, a search for
Examples
Educat*
Will
retrieve: educate, educating, education, educational, educator, educators, etc.
Technology*
Will retrieve entries for all records containing the words: Technology, Technology Lead, Technology
Consultant, Technology Architect,
Technology Analyst, etc.
Let’s say you want to search for candidates who has the keyword either “.net” or “C#” or “C++” anywhere in the field. You can choose the operator “Contains” that behaves like a wildcard.

- At the bottom of the popup window, choose “Contains” under Filters.
- Check the lookup values (Ex: .Net, C# and C++)
