The "Indexed Word Search" Capability

These reports may be searched 'by word' via the Acrobat word index catalog embedded herein.

To search 'by word(s)' in the reports on this CD:

  1. Open 'Acrobat Reader (with Search)' directly [as opposed to using the Reader plug-in that is viewed from within a browser window].
  2. Select the toolbar search query button (binoculars) or, from the menu, select "Edit > Search".
  3. Select "Use Advanced Search Options".
  4. Click the 'down arrow' in the "Look In:" text box and select "Select Index...".
  5. 'Check' the 'Available indexes' you want to search. If absent, "Add" the "NOPP-FY02-08" index, by selecting the NOPP_index.pdx file in the "\search\" folder on this CD-ROM.
  6. Enter desired search criteria in the search window, and select 'Search'.
  7. For an overview of the use and capability of this search function on this CD, see below.
  8. For more detailed information on how to use Acrobat's Search function, review the help file in the version of Acrobat you have installed.

These reports are fully word indexed to allow simple word or boolean (and, or, not) searches. Searches may be executed on report text (words, phrases, names), report document embedded field information, or both simultaneously.

In these NOPP reports, the table that follows describes the embedded fields and the information each contains. You might note that searches that include the 2-digit FY in the 'title', 'subject', or 'keywords' fields will restrict results to reports of that single fiscal year.

Embedded Field Name Data contained Possible use:
Title All titles are preceeded by the FY of the report and a colon, such as "08: [Report title]" Searching on the Title field where "title contains" "08: " will return only reports from FY08. Searching on "08" (without the 'colon' will return reports from FY08, but might return reports where the title contains "08".
Author The contributing authors, as listed on the actual report Searching on an authors name here will yield the same results as the basic 'word document search', but will not necessarily include those reports where that author's name is included in a bibliography or reference in the basic document.
Subject "NOPP - Fiscal Year XXXX", where XXXX is the year of the report. Searching on the Subject field where "subject contains" "FY08" or "08" will return only reports from FY08.
Keywords The Fiscal Year of the report, in two formats: FYxx, and xxxx Searching on the keyword field where "keyword contains" "FY08" or "2008" or "08" will return only reports from FY08.
