Advanced Search in Cumulus 10

How to customize your catalog search to look for multiple parameters. In this case, customer wants to define multiple keyword parameters.

General search behavior (for Cumulus Client, Web/CWC, Sites, & Portals)

- Searching with an empty search field finds all files
- Two or more terms entered are combined with AND
- Terms separated with two pipes (||) are combined with OR
- Terms enclosed in double quotation marks ("") are handled as a single phrase search
- Prepending a term with a minus symbol (-) excludes that term
