Queries allow you to find the necessary ones in the content.
GEODI queries may result as a list (CONTENT page), as a map(MAP page), or as a calendar (CALENDAR page). Whichever is best for you. Other modules may add new views to give more insight into your data—for example, NETWORK Graph Page by GEODI Discovery or Media Panel by MediaMon.

GEODI recognizes dates as they are written in the documents and allows you to search linearly.
GEODI automatically recognizes all dates and date ranges in content. If you install the language pack, it works for Russian, Arabic, Georgian, Hebrew, and many other languages.
The calendar view is built by recognized dates and is an important insight tool.

"()" at the end of the rule affects maps, keywords, and graph pages. This operator is a great insight tool. On the MAP page Accident() means show places near to word Accident. You may specify word distance. You may use the rule with other rules. “Accident() Insurance” means finding documents with Accident and Insurance but they should be close to each other. when you use the operator in the keyword page, only related words remain. Places related to accidents or people related to accidents may be found this way. |

GEODI versions all content by default. By default, a query finds all versions. But you may limit them by using ver: keyword. GEODI just tracks the changes but does not save the old versions. If you want to access the old version, also you may activate “backup” per source. |

GEODI finds similar documents. Copies and similar are also shown in viewers.
You may use the following criteria for similarity search
maxcount:<n> - limit similar count by n.
minsimilarity:0.7 - set similarity. The default is 0.7.
excludeDuplicates:true exclude copies default =false means copies are listed under similar.

You may limit the search results by content sources you have used in the project settings. You may also set rules for parent documents. You may specify more than one source. If you set source names in a tree format, you should refer the same way. parent: Search by parent content. ZIPs or folders may have other content under them. if you take a note, then it becomes a child of the content. child: search by child content. e.g. search files whose note contains “eligible”. |

GEODI also searches in databases or structured excel files. You can limit the search by field name. If more than one table in multiple databases contains the same field, the search includes all. So GEODI effectively merges all structured data along with unstructured ones. GEODI collects field names by itself. Indexing and other phases are all auto, but you may use SQL to define how a DB and Tables will be indexed. PCs discovered by GDE and some other tools may also have a field name that can be searched in this way. |

owner:<username> |
The content summary contains the owner, who added the content by drag-and-drop. The owner: query results in the content added by the specified user.
“me” may be used as a username for the current user. So if this query is used in a panel, every user sees content added by themselves.

GEODI tries to bring the most relevant content first. But you may define different orders. Sort keywords behave differently in CONTENT and KEYWORDS pages. The following criteria are valid for keywords only.

Practical Examples
Query language is as simple as Google's. You may just type the words and see the result. But there are more. Semantic queries help you address data much sharper when the words are insufficient.
GEODI queries by date, not just the document date but also dates in the content. These dates may have been written in many different formats but are all the same for GEODI. Dates are semantic entities for GEODI, and GEODI has many ways to query them.
Money is another example. The Discovery tool catches money phrases written in many different ways. So all phrases become one based on the value and the currency. It would be orherwise very diffcult to find them just with word search. Recognizng Money is very useful for auto classification, fine-tuning permission schemas, and more.
There are more semantic features that help you find any document faster and more accurately. This page and the sub-pages will explain all the rules in detail.
Some rules may be complicated or hard to remember, but there are ways to save them as templates and reuse them.
Keep this page open in your browser. 
GEODI queries can be viewed as a list, map, calendar, panel, or report, whichever is best for you. You can switch between views and narrow the query. The views allow you to see different faces of the data and are good ways of getting insight.

Sample Queries
We suggest you to try the following samples with your content. You will see how easy and effective to find content in GEODI.
...
in’s no problem.
Jan-March 2017 doc:*.PDF Georgia |
If the document came via email, the rule remains the same. We |
specify the PDF just as we specify the email, as both are content types for GEODI. content:e-Mail Georgia |
We know that it was in a ZIP file. The document name was something “Geological..” and contains the the word wall. parent:*.ZIP doc:Geological* Wall |
You looked at hundreds of resumes during an HR process and made notes indicating your opinions. Now you want to find the resumes that received positive notes. |
Search for Georgia but not auarium. Georgia -Aqua* |
When you want to search a word and sinonims at the same time you may simply define a GEODI dictionary. The following queries may be identical using a single line dictionary: Artifical Intelligence AI Expert System |
Using just words in long documents may be misleading. Lets assume , a 10 page document first word in the first page, second word is in the last page. To prevent this situation you may use proximity rule that is (). Education() “High School” find High School within 10 words of education. Try removing () and see the result. Education “High School” 100..500GBP Words can be found close to currency expressions that fit the range. |
Save and Watch Queries
The current query may be saved using the search box menu. Saving enables to reuse of frequent queries and publishing them with other users.
If you watch a query every time, new content or a change happens GEODI will inform you through e-mail. This feature saves a lot of time. You may watch for certain words, but semantic features may be much more useful. Watching a query like “layer:SSN” whenever a document with social security comes you will be informed.
