Queries allow you to find the necessary ones in the content.
GEODI 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.

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.
