Finding things in RIB CX is easy. Below are some useful operators and functions for keyword searching to get the best out of your search results.

These operators are applicable when performing a keyword search in Anywhere on Form/Document (normal). |
Keyword
Search for X or Y. This will return results related to X or Y, or both. Note: The default RIB CXoperator is OR. By this, it means that if you search for stage five without the OR operator it will search for results related to stage OR five.
Examples:
stage five
roof tiles
OR
Search for X or Y. This will return results related to X or Y, or both.
Examples:
rib OR software
“Exact-Match”
Force an exact-match search. Use this to refine results for ambiguous searches, or to exclude synonyms when searching for single words.
Example:
“RIB Software”
AND
Search for X and Y. This will return only results related to both X and Y.
Example:
rib AND software
Wildcard *
Acts as a wildcard and will match any word or phrase.
Example:
rib*, will look for results with any word of phrase after rib
"rib software"* , will look for results with the phrase rib software with any word or phrase after rib software
rib* software, will look for results with the word rib with any word or phrase after it OR the word software
| Warning |
|---|
There may be some keyword searches that will not return results. You cannot search for single letters or numbers with a Wildcard after it. eg 5* or 1* or Stage 5*. This will not return any results. To search for a phrase with a Wildcard you can use quotations, for example "Stage 5"* or "5"* These search functions are limited to key word searches with in Global Search |
| Warning |

If you are searching for 2 user fields in Global Search, you may use the 'or' function. For example if you are searching for a text based search within 'Special fields' for either of two words, you can use the 'or' function. When it comes to Text based userfield searches (contrary to Keyword searches) RIB CX does not support other search functions like AND, "Exact Match", Wild Card*. However you are able to use the 'or' function. |
