Find 25.1
Find Administration Guide

# Introduction

OpenText Find is an end-user search interface for Knowledge Discovery.

Find supports the following functionality:

- Advanced search. Refine searches by database, date, or parametric values.

- Document preview. Find uses the View component to render near-native views of the source documents for your search results in a web browser. The Document Preview feature works with View server and documents in source repositories.

- Query manipulation. Find applies synonym and blacklist rules, when you use a Query Manipulation Server as a back end for your search. You can use Data Admin to create and manage these rules.

- Results manipulation. Find applies pin-to-position promotions, when you use a Query Manipulation Server as a back end for your search. You can use Data Admin to create and manage these promotions.

  - Results augmentation. Find applies spotlight promotions, when you use a Query Manipulation Server as a back end for your search. You can use Data Admin to create and manage these promotions.

- Document security. You can set up document security so that only users with appropriate permissions can access the documents, or even see them in search results.

- Visualizations. You can view results as topic maps, sunburst charts, maps, or in table format, as well as in list format.

- Save searches. You can save searches and run them again later, save a result set as a snapshot, or compare two or more saved searches.

  NOTE: Find includes Business Information for Human Intelligence (BIFHI); visualizations, saved searches, and comparisons are available only to users with the `FindBI` role (see User Roles for more information).

For more information on additional components that work with Find, see Required Knowledge Discovery Components and Optional Knowledge Discovery Components.
