    Search is one of the most popular pages in Agile Central, and here are some ways that you can narrow down your search results even further:

     

    • Use + or AND operators to require matching keywords
      • By default, search looks for any of the keywords entered. By using AND or +, search will look for all results
      • e.g. +apple + green or apple AND green will look for results that contain both apple and green
    • Use - or NOT operators to exclude results containing a keyword
      • e.g. use +apple -oranges to get results that contain apples but not oranges
    • Search for phrases and similar matches by enclosing them in quotation marks
      • e.g. "test search" will return results including testing search, testing searches, test searching, etc.
    • Search in specific fields
      • Keyword search works for the following fields: Name, Description, Notes, Tags, FormattedID, and Discussion. All keyword searches except for Discussion searches can be combined with boolean operators.
      • e.g. Name:apple AND Description:green, or Tags:free OR Tags:gratis
    • Wildcards with ? (single character) and * (multiple characters) operators
      • e.g. te?t will return test or text
      • e.g. *ball will return football, volleyball, dodgeball and ball
