Selecting where to search

When you search in your available knowledge bases, you can specify which knowledge bases should be searched.

The following types of knowledge bases can be made available for searching:

Type of source	Available if
Accuris Content	Always available
Articles	You have access to Goldfire.com, and you are connected to the server
Patents	You have access to Goldfire.com, and you are connected to the server
Corporate	You have access rights to specific corporate knowledge bases
My Data	Always available; however, content only appears within if other Goldfire users share items with you, or if you save items from another knowledge base query to this area.

• To display information about a knowledge base, click .
• To adjust the width of the columns under Knowledge bases, move the pointer between two of the columns until it becomes a double-headed arrow, and then click and drag the column separator to the position that you want.

• Language indicators. If the Language Pack is installed, language indicators are shown at the left of each knowledge base. The following language indicators can appear:

  	For English knowledge bases
  	For French knowledge bases
  	For German knowledge bases
  	For Japanese knowledge bases
  	For Russian Knowledge bases
  	For Chinese knowledge bases
  	For knowledge bases containing documents in more than one language

The Russian semantic engine is partially supported by Goldfire and is limited in scope. A limited set of corporate categories for Russian is available to users. Russian is not a language that can be translated into and from other Goldfire supported languages.
