Overview of Researcher
To display the Researcher page, click Researcher on the main menu at the top of the page.
The Researcher page has two main areas:
- Query area, where you type a natural language query. Goldfire provides users with a set of cognitive search features that enhance and better support your search experience. Content must be indexed (or reindexed if already indexed) for the following cognitive search features to take effect:
-
Boolean-Free Searching - search all metadata associated with documents without Boolean operands. This means that users do not need to type <and> and <in> operands in their searches. Examples of fields to which you might apply Boolean-free searching are: file name, file extension, and other high-importance fields. Users simply type keywords and Goldfire returns relevant matches.
The exception to Boolean-free searching is queries related to dates, which requires the use of Boolean operands.
-
Wildcard Searching - replace characters in the words of their query with an asterisk (*). You can use the wildcard mode of searching to search for metadata associated with the documents. Examples of fields to which you might apply wildcard searching are: file name, folder, document type, etc.
Wildcard searching does not apply to searching for content within the document body. However, a number of filter categories exist to address this, and enable you to search for metadata from within document body that is extracted by natural language processing technology.
-
Improved PDF Searching: Goldfire detects and categorizes the content of a PDF document into logical fields (Table, Figure, etc.), which enables users perform more effective queries by using these fields as advanced filters in the query.
- Search results area, where you view and filter the search results returned

Exact Search
Goldfire enables you to target your query to an exact term or phrase when you contain the contents of your search within quotation marks. This search capability allows you to conduct queries with precision. Documents with content in the document title and/or in the document body that exactly matches your query are returned in the results list. Furthermore, this search capability is enabled for all the languages that are supported by Goldfire. If you want take full advantage of the exact search functionality as you search for relevant documents in your existing corporate and personal knowledge bases, then it is necessary to rebuild them bases.
