2.6. Find data quickly · LiveSearch

Up one level
On of Bika's most used features is it's LiveSearch facility - a Google like search engine from where data can be found without having to fill out laborious query forms. Search results correspond to the user's LIMS authorisation profile and, for example, clients still see only their own data

LiveSearch increases the value of Bika's search engine by simplifying the search process. Results from a search are now instant

You'll find Bika's LiveSearch field top right on all Bika Wine pages

As you type letters for a search, possible matches appear below the search box — without changing the current page. Here ilustrated is an attempt to find 'alcohol' in the system:

live search step 1


Typing the first few letters in LiveSearch brings up a list of matches

Every item in the list is a live link - click on them to navigate to them if it matches the item you were looking for

Or narrow the list down by entering more characters:


live search final

Found!

So, instead of entering a search term, waiting for results, and refining your search, this live feedback on searching makes finding things faster and more effective

If the LiveSearch results are unsatisfactory, click the [search] button, upon which a list of  hyperlinked results will be displayed to you


live search results

Hyperlinked search results

If the list is too long, or the results not immediately found, click on the Queries link. You'll then be led to a query menu from where you may specify search criteria as described in the Analysis Request Queries paragraph
