NETSCAPE®  SEARCH 
Home Page 

Netscape Search capabilities let users search the content and file properties of any document on the server. This provides great flexibility and precision. For example, a user can find all documents created within the last month that include the word revenue. Netscape Enterprise Server handles content in various formats, including HTML, Microsoft Word, Adobe PDF, and many others.

STANDARD SEARCH
You can use the standard search interface to search on the content and file properties of files that have been indexed. Once a file is indexed, it is available in a collection. If Java is enabled for your browser, you can use the Guided Search applet to construct complex search queries for you.
ADVANCED SEARCH
There is also an advanced HTML-based search interface for users who do not wish to enable Java. This allows you search through multiple collections simultaneously and sort your search results according to their attributes.
Server Administrators Can Customize the Search Interface
Customizing the Search Query
You can customize the search query to provide radio buttons and other ease-of-use features. You can even create a canned search query that basically hides the actual query.
