Advanced search of attachments
Message
 

For some reason the attachments we have on our database are not being searched or are not delivering any results?

Is there some trick to this?

Thanks, Nathan

Nathan,

It's a little unclear of your exact problem based on your description, but I ran some test keyword searches quick on your database and it appeared to be returning the results just fine.

Then, I thought you might be using the Add Filter -> Attachments | contains | "Search String"? Keep in mind this just searches attachment names, not the contents.

If this doesn't answer your question, please give specific examples of where you are searching, the search string, and a candidate/record that you believe should appear in the result, if possible.

 

I have noticed the same, Tony. Some of my candidate resumes show the little magnifying glass on the summary page, but many that do have attachments do not show the magnifying glass so I can't just click the magnifying glass and peak at the resume.

As well, there doesn't seem to be a way to search the keywords that would be on resume's as attachments.

For example, if I were to search Peoplecode, in any of the search boxes under candidates, I get no results. But if I do Peoplesoft it will show some, as that is what one of their primary skills listed are. But it won't really go further than that.

Is there anything that can be done about the magnifying glass so that I can more quickly peak at them, is it an indexing thing?
