The sidebar contains controls to enter search criteria. Criteria are ANDed to narrow down search results. These criteria span the following:
Criterion | Purpose | ||
|---|---|---|---|
Word or Phrase | Free text field for a single word or phrase. Note that searching for a phrase matches exactly that phrase, so 'red car' would not find 'I bought some red paint for my car' | ||
Question Type | A dropdown to allow selection of question type. Defaults to '(all types)' | ||
Question Sections | What part of the question to search in. By default, Theme, Scenario, Lead-In and Options are all selected.
| ||
When was it Modified | Radio buttons to select last modified date. Default is Don't remember. Withing the last week, Past month, and Within the last year are also other valuable preset options. Finally, Specify dates allows the user to search a range of dates. |
