Enterprise Organizer Pro offers two types of search: Plain English and Boolean. See Boolean Searches for more information on Boolean searching. This topic will describe plain English searching. The default search type is Plain English, also known as an any word search. This is the same type of searching used by many popular Internet search engines. The search will match any of the words you provide. You can optionally require, exclude, and group words. This is described under Controlling the Search Terms below.
