Item 1 of the "Search Result" screen displays the result of search performed on the following data in Kintone:

Besides carrying out a search across the entire Kintone, you can limit your search scope to a specific app or space.

You can limit your search scope to a specific app.
Navigate to the target app and enter a keyword in the search box on the upper side of the screen.

You can limit your search scope to a specific space.
Navigate to the target space and enter a keyword in the search box on the upper side of the screen.

When you specify multiple keywords, an AND search is performed.
When you insert a half-width or full-width space between your keywords, Kintone searches for the data that contains all the key words you have specified. It is not possible to perform an OR search or a NOT search with multiple keywords.
To search for a keyword that includes a space, enclose the keyword with double quotation marks ("").

Example: When searching for records that contain all the keywords "ABC", "DEF", and "GHI"
Enter "ABC DEF GHI" in the search box and Kintone will search for the data that contains all the three keywords.


Example: When searching for records that contain the keyword "ABC DEF GHI"
Enter '"ABC DEF GHI"' in the search box and Kintone will search the data using the entered value as a single keyword.

The following are points you should note when entering search keywords.

• Full-width and half-width katakana characters are not distinguished.
• You can specify up to 10 keywords.
• To search for a word that consists of two or more characters, you must specify a keyword that consists of two or more characters. A word that consists of a single character can be searched for with a keyword that consists of a single character.
  Example: When searching for fields whose value contains the string "日本語"
  • Valid keywords: "日本", "本語", "日本語"
  • Invalid keywords: "日", "本", "語"

• Keywords are not case-sensitive, and full-width and half-width alphabetical characters are not distinguished.

  Example: When searching for fields whose value contains the string "cybozu kintone2"
  
  • Specify "cybozu" or "kintone2" as a keyword. Partial matches (e.g., "cy" and "kintone") will not be searched for.
  • "cybozu" and "kintone2" are counted as one word each. If you specify the two words without quotation marks (that is, if you enter as follows: cybozu kintone2), the search will return fields whose value contains both of the words.
