Search groups focus the output of reports. For example, you can tell Binder to search specific transcripts and documents for a specific term, thereby limiting the scope of the report and eliminating extraneous results.
Notes:
After you create a search group, you can apply it when creating reports as well. Refer to Searching Transcripts for instructions.
You can create a search group on-the-fly when creating a report, or you can create a search group first and then run a report, as described below.
Use the following procedure to create a search group:
In the Project Tree, click Search Groups. The available search groups are listed in the Details pane.
In the Details pane, right-click Search Groups and then click New Search Group. The Search Group Properties dialog box opens.
In the Name field, type a name for the search group. Notice the buttons on the right of the dialog box: Documents, Transcripts, and Remove (which is inactive until you add a transcript or document).
You have the following options:
To include documents in the search group, click the Documents button, click the documents to include in the search group, and then click the OK button.
To include transcripts in the search group, click the Transcripts button, click the transcripts to include in the search group, and then click the OK button.
To remove an item (a transcript or a document) from the search group, click the item, and then click the Remove button.
Click the Close button. Binder creates the search group and lists it in the Details pane.
