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.
Word Search
Finds contents with words. Words may not be next to each other and are case insensitive. If you want to search for an exact phrase, put an “ around word(s).
Starts with/Ends with
“*” means any. So Georg* finds Georgia, George... *City finds smartcity, capacity or velocity.
By Content Name&Type
Search rules also apply to content names. You should just add "doc:" at the beginning of the rule.
The keyword note is a shortcut for doc:*.geodinote.
Reverse the Rule
“-” means the reverse of the rule. doc::PDF finds all PDF filers -doc..PDF finds all non-PDF files.
Search by Dates
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.
Search by Relative Dates
The creation dates of E-mail, social media messages or GEODI notes are reliable. GEODI allows you to query by relative date words.
Find Wrong Spelling
When you do know the exact spelling or need to find any wrong spelling then you should use the “~” (Tilda) operatör. Tilda means any word similar to.
You may use the rule with other rules.
Berlon~ finds Berlin, Terlon..
Geordia~ finds Georgia…
Rules between Rules
You may use AND/OR or brackets in search expressions. The blank between rules means AND. So the last 2 are identical.
Word Proximity Rule
"()" 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.
Versioning and Search
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.
Find Similars
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.
Find Copies
It is said that typically %40 of documents in organizations are duplicates. Duplicates are confusing and make searches harder. GEODI finds and helps you eliminate them.
Search by Source&Parent
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”.
Search by Image
Drag and drop an image into the search box and find similar ones. You may use a machine part or a wallpaper sample.
This feature must be activated in the project.
Find by Recognizer
You may limit the results by layer. Find content containing hashtags, dates, a city, a street, or a name. These semantic queries are also used in Classification.
Find Geo Only
geom means to find content containing a location. This location may have come from a lot of sources.
Find by Content Language
If the language recognizer is included in the project, you may filter content by language.
Search On DB Colums
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.
Query by Content Creator
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.
Sort the Search Results
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
We suggest you to try the following samples with your content. You will see how easy and effective to find content in GEODI.
If you have a rought estimation about time interval then you may specify it in the search phrase. If you are sure that it was a PDF that no problem. Jan-March 2017 doc:*.PDF Georgia |
We are sure that it came through e-mail 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 |
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.
