I dare you to further shorten it further... (search syntax part 3)
As pointed out you can really shorten the syntax used when fulltext searching. I thought I had found the Grail of search syntax but Jens let me know it can actually be further shortened so that
(FIELD xxx CONTAINS yyy) OR (FIELD xxx CONTAINS zzz) OR (FIELD xxx CONTAINS www)becomes
[xxx] = (yyy, zzz, www)
Are we just a short step from cognative computing so the Domino server simply knows what we want to search for?
Dropping the FIELD-keyword from the fulltext search syntax...
As posted the other day (To OR or not to OR...) you can use parenthesis' to condense the fulltext search string in Notes when OR'ing terms together. Another option I just discovered today is to use square brackets instead of the "FIELD"-keyword.
The search query
FIELD xxx CONTAINS yyycan therefore also be written as
[xxx] CONTAINS yyy
Combining this with my previous post a verbose search query such as
(FIELD xxx CONTAINS yyy) OR (FIELD xxx CONTAINS zzz) OR (FIELD xxx CONTAINS www)can therefore be written much shorter as
[xxx] CONTAINS (yyy, zzz, www)
It makes you wonder which other gems are hidden in the fulltext search syntax doesn't it...
Displaytag 1.1 released
For those of you who do Web applications in Java (using JSPs) make sure to look into displaytag. Displaytag is a set of open source tag libraries for displaying tables in all shapes and forms. I use it (Displaytag 1.0) on a number of projects and can highly recommend it.
Now displaytag 1.1 has been released (changelog / migration guide) so that is something to look into.
