Using Acrobat Search

You use the Search command in Acrobat Exchange or Acrobat Reader to perform full-text searches of PDF document collections indexed with Acrobat Catalog. The Search command also has powerful tools for limiting and expanding the definition of the term for which you are searching.
full-text
A in a document or collection of documents. Searches of full-text indexes are very quick; by contrast, the Find command works with a single document and reads every word on every page, a much slower process.

Searching a full-text index

Performing a search is a four-step process:
1
Select the indexes you want to search.
2
Define a search query, and list documents that match the query. (A define the information you want.)
3
Choose documents to view from the list.
4
View occurrences of the text in the documents.
Instructions for performing these steps follow.
To perform a full-text search:
1

Selecting indexes to search

Choosing Tools > Search > Indexes lists the avail­able indexes. On a Macintosh, the list may also include indexes on currently unavailable file server volumes or CD-ROMs.
To be searchable, an index must be in the search list and it must be selected. When you add an index to the list, it is automatically selected. You can dese­lect or reselect it for specific searches or remove it from the list altogether. You can view a description of any index in the list.
Opening a PDF document associated with an index automatically makes the index searchable. See the
Acrobat Exchange Guide
for details.
To add an index to the search list:
1
Choose Tools > Search > Indexes. (If the Search
window is open, click the Indexes button in it instead.)
2
Click Add.
3
Locate and select the index you want to use. Acrobat
index-definition filenames usually end with .pdx.
4
Double-click the name of the index you want to use.
The new index is added to the search list.
To select or deselect an index:
In the Index Selection dialog box, click the box of any index whose status you want to change and click OK.
Note:
Dimmed indexes are currently unavailable for searching, usually because the network connec­tion has been lost. See
Troubleshooting
for more
information.
To remove an index from the search list:
1
In the Index Selection dialog box, highlight the name
of the index you want to remove.
2
Click Remove.
3
Click OK.

Working around stopwords and other exclusions

If you are unsuccessful searching for a phrase that includes a common word such as be a stopword.
If the unsuccessful search phrase includes a num­ber, numbers may also have been excluded from the index.
If you are unsuccessful searching for an alphanu­meric term that includes a separator character such as a symbol or mark of punctuation, it is probably because numbers also have been excluded. Acrobat Catalog regularly excludes separator characters from indexes, and in the process sometimes reduces alphanumeric terms such as phone numbers to numbers.

In these cases, do the following:
Try constructing a search phrase that doesn’t include
a number, alphanumeric term, or possible stopword.
If you can, get information about exclusions from the
publisher of the index. Get a stopword list from the publisher.
For details, see the following:
How Acrobat Catalog treats separator characters
How Acrobat Catalog excludes numbers

How Acrobat Catalog treats separator characters

Separator characters include all symbols, the space character, and most punctuation characters: peri­ods, commas, colons, semicolons, exclamation points, question marks, parentheses, and quotation marks, but not apostrophes.
When indexing a PDF document, Acrobat Catalog uses separator characters to recognize where one term ends and the next term starts. For example, in the sentence
We have nothing to fear but fear itself.
the Catalog program uses the space characters and the period to identify seven terms: we, have,
nothing, to, fear, but, and itself.
The program then discards the separator charac­ters. The space and period don’t appear in the index.
Unless the discarded separator characters appear in an alphanumeric term, they have no effect on searches, because these characters are also removed from search terms in Acrobat Search. For details, see How Acrobat Search treats separator
characters
.

How Acrobat Search treats separator characters

Separator characters are automatically removed from the search terms you enter as well as from indexes created in Acrobat Catalog, so using these characters in searches usually produces no effect.
For example, the phone number
(415)555-1212
in a PDF document become a three-number phrase in the index:
415 555 1212
But searching for the phone number (415)555-1212 finds the phrase 415 555 1212 unless numbers are excluded from the index, because the parentheses and hyphen are disregarded for purposes of the search.

How Acrobat Catalog excludes numbers

Index publishers can exclude numbers from Acrobat Catalog indexes. Acrobat Catalog defines a number to be a sequence of one or more numeric digits [0 through 9] that are
Optionally preceded by a minus sign [-].
Optionally separated by one or more commas [,] or
periods [.].
Optionally containing a decimal point, which can be a
period [.] or a comma [,].
Here are some examples of the kinds of numbers that Acrobat Catalog can exclude from an index:
23 23.54671 -37.1 3,012,222
44.223.835,5
Note that alphanumeric terms made up of numbers and separator characters such as $ can also be excluded, because the Catalog program removes the separator characters before determining whether the remaining characters constitute a number. For example,
($3,000.23)
becomes 3,000.23, which may be excluded as a number.

Searching with wild-card characters

You can use wild-card characters to find all the words that contain a word fragment or all the terms that match an arbitrary character pattern:
* asterisk, matches zero, one, or more characters
? question mark, matches any one character
You can use wild-card characters in a term that is part of a Boolean expression. You can also use wild cards to specify Document Info field values. You cannot use wild cards to represent separator char­acters such as the hyphen [-] and the slash [/].
Wild-card examples
geo* matches geodesic, Geoffrey, and geothermal
*nym matches antonym, homonym, and synonym
?ight matches fight and sight but not bright
555-???? matches all seven-digit phone numbers with the
555 prefix
pr?m* matches premature, prim, and primate

Refining a search

If you want to limit the search, you may also want to refine it—confine the search to the documents listed in the previous search. For example, you might first find all the documents that contain the phrase Anaconda project. Then, using the Refine option, you could search for the word cost in those documents only.
To refine a search: 1 Start with the Search Results window open, showing
the result of a previous search. If the Search window is hidden, display it by choosing Tools > Search > Query or by clicking the Search Query button toolbar.
v
on the
2 In the Search window, change or replace the query that produced the list of documents.
3 Press Ctrl (Windows. OS/2, UNIX) or Option (Macintosh). The button label will change from Search to Refine. Click Refine. This produces a Search Results list composed of documents that are a subset of the previous list and that match the new query.

Searching with Document Info fields

Searching with Document Info fields
Using wild-card characters in fields
Using Boolean expressions in fields
Using operators for document information
Searching with two or more fields
Searching with Document Info fields
If the PDF documents you are searching are pro­vided with Document Info values, you can use the Document Info fields in the Search window to limit the results of your searches to documents that contain specific values.
The standard Document Info fields in PDF docu­ments are Title, Subject, Author, and Keywords. For example, you could limit the search of an index of literature to just those documents with an Author field containing containing king.
Shakespeare and a Title field
To add the Document Info fields to the Search window, choose File > Preferences > Search and select Show Fields.
You may see additional custom fields if the creator of the PDF document included them.
If you want to keep the Search window small, you can hide (or keep hidden) the Document Info fields and
type their names in the Find Results Containing
Text box.
When you enter a Document Info field value and no search text, all documents with fields that contain the value are returned.

Using wild-card characters in fields

You can use wild-card characters in Document Info fields. For example, if you enter
Sm?th*
in the Author field, documents with Author field val­ues that include Smith, Smyth, and Smythe can be returned with subsequent searches.
See Searching with wild-card characters for details.

Using Boolean expressions in fields

You can use Boolean expressions in Document Info fields. For example, if you enter
Shakespeare or Milton
in the Author field, only documents that include either Shakespeare or Milton in the Author field are found.
See Searching with Boolean expressions for details.

Using operators for document information

You can use operators in Document Info field values to expand or limit the search.
Operator Meaning
= matches exactly (for text, numeric, and
date values)
~ contains (for text values)
!= does not contain (for text, numeric, and
date values)
< is less than (for date or numeric values)
<= is less than or equal to (for date or
numeric values)
> is greater than (for date or numeric
values)
>= is greater than or equal to (for date or
numeric values)
You can use only the first three operators (=, ~, !=) with text. (The standard Document Info fields— Title, Subject, Author, and Keywords—are all text fields.) For example,
~ Guide
in the Title field would find the Acrobat Exchange Guide, the Acrobat Search Guide, and so on.
The four comparison operators (<, <=, >, and >=) can be used only with values of the same type. For example, a date value can be compared only with another date value.

Searching with two or more fields

Entering values for two or more fields specifies an AND condition. For example, if you enter ~ Samuelson in the Author field, ~ cost analysis in the Subject field, and ~ spreadsheet in the Keywords field, only documents that contain all these values in these fields are returned from subsequent searches.
For OR conditions and NOT conditions between fields, you can use the Find Results Containing Text text box. For example,
(Author ~ Raskin) NOT (Keywords ~ presen­tation)
finds all documents whose Author fields contain
Raskin and whose Keywords fields do not contain presentation. You can also specify an AND condi-
tion with this method.
Searching with document creation and modification dates
You can use the Date Info fields in the Search win­dow to limit search results to just those documents that were created or modified in a specific time period. To add the Date Info fields to the Search window, choose File > Preferences > Search and select Show Date.
If you want to keep the Search window small, you can hide (or keep hidden) the Date Info fields and
type their names in the Find Results Containing
Text box.
When you enter a Date Info field value and no search text, all documents with Date Info fields that con­tain the value are returned.
To specify a date: 1 Click the Month, Day, or Year field.
2 Enter a number or use the Up and Down Arrows to
select a value.
To limit a search to documents created or modified after a specific date:
Specify the After date, and leave the Before date blank.
To limit a search to documents that were created or modified before a specific date:
Specify the Before date, and leave the After date blank.
To clear the date fields:
Click Clear.
To use both the creation and modification dates:
Entering time periods for both creation and modifi­cation dates specifies an AND condition. Only documents created in the specified period and modified in the specified period are returned from a search.

Typing field and options names

Instead of displaying Document Info fields, Date Info fields, or Options in the Search window, you can keep the Search window small and type fields and options in the Find Results Containing Text box. Along with the field names, you need to use
operators such as = (equals) and > (greater than,
after).
For Document Info fields, type Title, Subject, Author,
Keywords, Producer, or Creator. For example:
Author = Shakespeare
For Document Info fields, type CreationDate or ModificationDate. For example, for a creation date after October 9, 1996, type the following:
CreationDate > 10/9/96
For options, type /st (stemming), /so (sounds like),
/th (thesaurus), /ca (match case), or /pr (proximity). For example, find synonyms for publish with
publish /th

The Word Stemming, Thesaurus, and Sounds Like options expand searches. (Before you perform a search with one of these options, you can see the effects of using it with the Word Assistant.) The Match Case and Proximity options limit searches.

Word Stemming option

The Word Stemming option expands the search by finding words that share a word stem with the search word you type. For example, with Word Stemming selected, searching for building finds
build and builds as well as building.
Before searching with the Word Stemming option, consider using the Word Assistant to see whether the option would find too many irrelevant words to be practical.
The Word Stemming option
Applies to single words, not phrases
Does not apply to words that contain wild-card
characters
• Finds words that end in ing, ed, s, ion, and so on
(but not er)
Cannot be used with the Match Case option
If selecting the Word Stemming option seems to have no effect, the index you are searching proba­bly was not built with the Word Stemming option.

Thesaurus option

The Thesaurus option expands the search by finding words with meanings similar to the meaning of the search word. For example, with Thesaurus selected, searching for begin finds start.
Searching for begin with the Thesaurus option also finds attack and produce. Before searching with the option, consider using the Word Assistant to see whether the option finds relevant words.
The Thesaurus option
Applies to single words, not phrases
Does not apply to words that contain wild-card
characters
Cannot be used with the Match Case option
Finds only the similar words that appear in the docu-
ments you are searching, not all the similar words you might find in a complete Thesaurus

Sounds Like option

The Sounds Like option expands the search for a proper name by finding words that begin with the same letter as a search word and that share some phonetic feature with it. For example, with Sounds Like selected, searching for Smith also finds Smyth and Smythe.
Searching for Smith with the Sounds Like option also finds send and somewhat. Before searching with the option, consider using the Word Assistant to see whether the option finds relevant words.
The Sounds Like option
Applies to single words, not phrases
Does not apply to words that contain wild-card
characters
Cannot be used with the Match Case option
If selecting the Sounds Like option seems to have no effect, the index you are searching probably was not built with the Sounds Like option.

Match Case option

The Match Case option limits the results of the search by finding only those documents that con­tain words with the same capitalization as the search word or phrase you type. With Match Case selected, for example, searching for He finds all occurrences of He, the symbol for Helium, but not occurrences of he, the common pronoun.
You can use the Match Case option with a Boolean
expression
. Characters matched by wild-card characters
ters
can be either uppercase or lowercase.
You cannot use the Match Case option with the Word Stemming, Thesaurus, or Sounds Like option.
If selecting the Match Case option seems to have no effect, the index you are searching probably was not built with the option.
or with terms that use wild-card charac-

Proximity option

The Proximity option limits the results of simple
AND searches to one pair of matches per document
—the pair closest together. The two matches must be within three pages or fewer of each other. The option is useful for locating a document that con­centrates on some topic of interest. For example, searching a group of travel guides for information about Hawaiian cruises with
Hawaii AND cruise
would be less likely to locate information about cruises to other parts of the world or about shore visits to Hawaii if the Proximity option was used.
The Proximity option also affects relevance ranking in searches. When you use it, the closer the matches are within a document, the higher the ranking for the document.
Proximity won’t work with complex AND searches— for example, Hawaii AND (cruise OR fly).

Using the Word Assistant

Use the Word Assistant to build a list of terms that will appear when the search of a document uses the
Sounds Like, Word Stemming, or Thesaurus option.
The list will show you whether the option you are using is likely to be helpful in the search.
If the list is too long or full of irrelevant words, you can quickly construct a list of words to find with the option turned off by copying words from the Word Assistant dialog box and pasting them into the Search window.
To look up the effects of a search option on a search word:
1 Choose Tools > Search > Word Assistant.
2 To check the available indexes and change the selec-
tion of indexes, click Indexes to display the Index Selec­tion dialog box and
3 Select the search option from the Assist menu.
select the indexes you want to use.
4 Enter the search word in the Word text box.
5 Click Look Up. All the words that will be found in a
search for this word with this option are listed.
To search with words copied from the Word Assistant dialog box:
1 If the Search window is closed, click the Search Query
button v on the toolbar to open it.
2 Use the Word Assistant to look up the effects of a search option on a search word. And to display a list of related words.
3 In the list, double-click a word that you want to use in a search. The word appears in the Word text box.
4 Double-click the word to select it, and copy it to the Clipboard.
5 In the Search window, click the Find text box and paste the selected word into the text box.
6 Repeat steps 3 through 5 for each word you want to use; separate each pair of words in the Find text box with AND or OR.

Searching with Boolean expressions

You can use AND, OR, and NOT operators to build a Boolean expression that will search for specific words.
You can also use Boolean expressions in Document
field text boxes to specify a combination of
Info
field values in a search.
Searching with Boolean AND
Searching with Boolean OR
Searching with Boolean NOT
Combining Boolean operators
Using operator names and symbols literally

Searching with Boolean AND

Use AND to find documents containing two or more search terms. For example,
installation AND instructions
finds only those documents that contain both
installation and instructions.
You can also use the ampersand [&] to specify an AND search. For example,
installation & instructions
Choosing the Proximity option changes the way AND searches work. Without the Proximity option, items in an AND search can be anywhere in a docu­ment. With the Proximity option, items in an AND search must be within three pages of each other to be found.

Searching with Boolean OR

Use OR to find documents containing any of two or more search terms. For example,
television OR tv
finds all documents that contain either or both
television and tv.
You can also use a comma [,] or a vertical bar [|] to separate items in an OR search. For example:
television, tv
and
television | tv
Although any document that contains any item used with an OR operator is returned from a search, documents that contain both items rank higher in the Search Results list. See Interpreting relevance
ranking
for more information.

Searching with Boolean NOT

Use NOT to exclude documents that contain a search term. For example,
not quarterly
finds all documents that do not contain the word
quarterly.
You can also use an exclamation point [!] to specify a NOT search. (Be sure to place a space between the exclamation point and the search item.) For example:
! quarterly

Combining Boolean operators

Be careful when combining operators to build Bool­ean expressions. Unless you work with Boolean expressions frequently, it is easy to build an expres­sion that does not mean what you think it means.
When NOT is used with either or both of the AND and
OR operators, it is evaluated before either the AND or OR. For example,
evolution AND NOT darwin
finds all documents that contain the word evolution but not the word darwin.
When you combine AND and OR in the same expres-
sion, AND is evaluated before OR. For example,
darwin OR origin AND species
finds all documents that contain darwin or that contain both origin and species.
You can use parentheses to change the default order
of evaluation for Boolean operators. For example,
(darwin OR origin) AND species
finds all documents that contain either darwin and
species or that contain origin and species. Paren-
theses can be nested.

Using operator names and symbols literally

When you use a literal phrase that contains an oper­ator name, a symbol for an operator name (such as & for AND), or parentheses, the phrase must be enclosed in quotation marks. For example:
“cats and dogs”
finds all documents that contain the phrase cats
and dogs
word cats or the word dogs. The phrase
cats & dogs
also needs quotes to be interpreted literally.
, not all documents that contain either the
In addition to and, or, not, and parentheses, the symbols that require quotation marks are & (amper­sand, for AND), | and, (vertical bar and comma, for OR), and ! (exclamation point, for NOT). However, quoted search phrases that contain parentheses or vertical bars can produce unexpected results. For details, see How Acrobat Catalog treats separator
characters
.

Viewing documents returned from a search

A search returns a list of indexed documents containing items that match your search query, displaying the list in the Search Results window. When you open a docu­ment in the list, you view only pages containing matches. All matches on a page are highlighted unless you change the default.
Documents more likely to contain relevant informa­tion are listed first, and the relevance ranking of each document is indicated by an icon. For details,

Interpreting relevance ranking

A relevance ranking is assigned to each document returned from a search. A document’s relevance ranking indicates how likely it is that the document contains the information you are searching for.
Search uses five icons to indicate relevance ranking:
From left (full circle) to right (empty circle), they rank documents from highest to lowest likelihood of containing relevant information.
With ordinary search text, the relevance ranking indi-
cates how frequently the search word appears in the document, both in absolute terms and relative to the number of other words in the document.
When you use a Boolean OR operator between two
words or phrases in a search, documents that contain both the items have a relevance ranking higher than documents that contain just one of them.
When you use the Proximity option, the closer the
occurrences of matches for your query are within a document, the higher the relevance ranking for the document.

How to print this online guide
You can print separate topics or the entire guide. Since the pages of the guide have been made small for online viewing, Windows and Macintosh users may prefer to print them two to a page of paper— ”two up.”
To print pages two up: 1 Choose File > Print Setup (Windows) or File > Page
Setup (Macintosh).
2 Follow the instructions for your platform:
In Windows, click Options, select 2 up on the Paper
tab, click OK to return to the Print Setup dialog box, and click OK again to close it.
On a Macintosh, choose 2 Up from the Layout menu
and click OK.
Note: If you can’t perform step 2, you may not be using an Adobe or PostScript printer driver. If you are and you still can’t perform the step, install the Adobe printer driver on the Acrobat CD-ROM. See the Acrobat Getting Started guide for installation instructions.
3 Choose File > Print.
4 Indicate the page range.
Click OK (Windows) or Print (Macintosh).
