Complex Search guidance
I make extensive use of UR's advanced search facilities.
I continue to struggle however, with the operation of 'nested' searches (I think that's what they are called - I'm talking about searches that have the appearance of an outline). Although I can usually structure a search that returns the results that I want and expect, it often involves much trial and error. Sometimes I just cannot understand why a particular search picks up (or fails to pick up) a particluar item. Would it be possible for Kinook (whether by expanding the help manual or by a post to this forum) to provide some more detail about how nested searches work. A few example searches with notes comparing and explaining the particular results generated would greatly assist. |
If this doesn't help
http://www.kinook.com/UR/Manual/sear...aindenting.htm provide some details on a search you're having difficulty constructing. |
multiple OR-AND trees
an example search i'm having trouble creating is one that lists "interesting" tasks where an interesting task is:
Code:
@Category does not equal deferred the complex search is indented like above resulting in what i think is the correct parenthesization. I'm assuming that an expression x and y or z and w will have both x and y, z and w evaluated first before doing the 'or' of the two. |
The ORs in your criteria are likely not doing what you are expecting, my guess is that you really something like this:
Code:
@Category does not equal deferred |
