Full-Text Search uses SQL Server indexing to return fast, structured results.

Simple Terms
Basic keyword search across records
hello world → finds both words
Exclude
Removes unwanted results using -
-box → excludes “box”
Prefix
Matches words starting with text
mar* → marketing, market, marble
Synonyms
Expands search using related words
?run → run, jog
Inflectional
Finds different forms of the same word
+call → call, calls, calling, called
Global Search

System-wide Search Mode

Bypasses Full-Text indexing to search all available data fields

*
Global Prefix

By default Transearch uses Full-Text Search for fast indexed results.

Global Search extends this by scanning beyond the indexed structure when you prefix your query with *.

Wildcard Rules
* and %
Matches any number of characters
cust* → customer, custom, custody
? and _
Matches a single character
c?t → cat, cut, cot

When to use Global Search
Partial IDs
When you only know part of a reference
Legacy data
Older records not fully indexed
Loose matching
When exact terms don’t return results
Signing Out

It is important to sign out of Transearch when you have finished using the system.

Failure to sign out correctly may result in your account being temporarily disabled.
