A.16 Search Conditions Page

Specify the conditions to be applied to each document in the searched applications to determine if they should be shown in the search results. Each condition contains three parts: the application's metadata field, the operator used for the comparison and the data value to be used. These conditions for each application can be grouped using parentheses and combined using the conjunction operators (and/or) to form complex conditions.
