July 2023 Release

Keyword Search Enhancements

Knowable is powering your searching by:

• Expanding the results in your standard search
• Refining your search with “Connectors”
• Using the intuitive “Search Builder” to build precision searches without needing to remember how to apply Connectors in the Search Bar

Keyword Search Behavior Updates

Updated Behavior

• More inclusive in what is returned from the search (more like a Google Search)
  • Searches will now return partial matches along with exact matches to your search terms.
• KI still searches both reviewed data & the extracted text.
• KI uses a sorting algorithm to return the most relevant search results first
  • Assuming no other sorting has been applied to the Contract Grid
• Note: If you want to search for specific values or contract text, use quotations to search for the exact match
• Also Note: this new search logic applies to the search bar on the Homepage and Family Page as well

Search Behavior (Examples)

Note: Use quotation marks for the best results on ID number searches.

Using “Connectors”

We’ve added new support to add “Connectors” to create more pinpointed keyword searches.

• In addition to quotes for phrase matching, you can now use OR, AND, and parenthesis
• Follow the examples and descriptions to learn how to add your own logic Connectors to your searches
• Click on Search Help for a more detailed walkthrough of the Connectors
  

Autocomplete Refresher

Autocomplete surfaces suggestions from data fields and contract text to make it easier to search your contracts. Click on the lightbulb to see the Search Tips when autocomplete suggestions are in the search box.

Search Builder

New tool on the Filter Panel to help you build searches with Connectors

• Click on the “Search Builder” tab to start building your search
• Easy to understand prompts help you create complex searches
• Can be used as an additional search on top of a filter search.

Click on the “Search Builder” tab in the Filter Panel to start a new search.

• The first step to building a new search is to make a Group Connector selection in the first dropdown
  • “match all” applies the AND Connector between groups
  • “match any” applies the OR Connector between groups
• If your search only needs one group, don’t worry about making a Group Connector selection.
• You can also change the selection anytime after making your selection and hitting Search to update the Search Builder

• Use the “Match all” “Match any” drop down selection to set your Connector between search terms in a group
• Use quotes to apply an exact phrase match to your search
• Add more groups by selecting the “Add Groups” button
• The Search Builder supports up to 6 Group selections for your search
• Select “Reset Form” to clear all the criteria and reset your groups
• Hit “Search” to search your contract data and text

The Search Builder will add your search query into the Search Bar 

• You can adjust your criteria after hitting Search in the Search Builder
• Those changes are not reflected in the Search Builder

Use both Filters and the Search Builder for even more powerful searching!
