1) Are there any wild cards or keywords that can aid in complex search terms? Are there any controlled characters that should be avoided while tagging eg " ' [ ; ; etc? 2) we have tried typing double byte characters in the search field, we have also TAGGED double byte characters in the meta data. However the tagged double byte character does not store correctly within NX meta. What is the underlying data format and how can we tag these double byte characters properly so we can search them properly?

  Hi @...

  Thanks for reaching out to us. You can find the answers to your questions in the message below.

  "Search engine behavior throughout Nx Witness is similar for list dialogs with a search or filter field, such as Select Camera, Add Device, or Select Users.

  Type any characters into the search field to activate a search. Search results appear in the search pane immediately as characters are entered. If the search returns a large number of results, only the first 24 or 64 results will be displayed (for x86 architecture or x64 architecture respectively).

  Note that Camera ID fields are only searched if a query is 4 symbols or longer. This is because Camera ID strings are so long and contain so many characters they could flood search results without this limitation.

  Some minimal logic is available for search criteria:

  •Use + to add a new criteria to the search. For example, “out + 100” will select all results containing either “out” or “100”.

  •Use \ to omit results containing certain characters. For example, “out \hdtv” will select all results containing “out”, but not “hdtv”."

  Regarding such questions, we have an in-client User Manual that covers most questions regarding our applications. Be sure to use the search field to enter your keyword(s) and to find the right information. This answer could be found in the section "Searching in Nx Witness". 

  Please let us know if you have any other questions.
