Overview of Advanced Search

4. Keyword
The first step is to input your topic name under the
keyword field.
1. Ex: Type in Java
2. Check the option above under
“Question”
3. Ensure dropdowns summarize
“Include,” “All
these terms,” and “Any part.”

5. Activity Timeframe
The next step is to sort by relevancy. If you want more recent information on your topic, you can run a
query on all activity One Day, 7 Days, 30 Days, A Year, or simply input your own time frame in the
custom field.

6. Question Status
Now, you can select the authenticity of the question. If you wish to see data which has a verified
solution, you can specify that. From the drop down menu, choose “Solved.”

7. Comment Count & Points
If you are interested in the most popular solutions, for relevancy, you can arrow
down by comment count and points awarded.

8. Additional Topics

other topics into one search by adding them here:

9. Part 2:
Content Types

10. Definition of a Solution
1. We do not interpret a “solution” as anything someone
posted on the site.
2. We only interpret solutions as questions that were asked
by our members, responded to by our Experts, and (most
importantly) accepted by the asker.
3. For example - (http://goo.gl/OeyqMk)

11. Videos
Opposed to getting a solution, you can learn awesome skills as
well! If you wanted to learn a new skill for your position, you can
also search an ample amount of videos and articles by selecting
the options here:

12. Articles
Additionally, you can view the communities featured topics
through the their submitted articles. Similar to the Videos, you
can use the legend up top to sort Java topics by article.
Articles are not only submitted by an Expert, but reviewed,
revised, and published by our community leadership before it
meets your eyes. Another way we take strict measures to ensure
you are only getting the highest quality information.
Before we address all questions, I do also want to revisit your
options in case you cannot find your solution through the
knowledge base.
