Universal Full-Text Search for Acumatica Cloud ERP version 5.0

During this demo, I’m going to show you how the new universal search feature in Acumatica 5.0 lets you find what you need faster, and easier than before.

Let’s suppose i’m looking for a plane ticket bill. I can type "plane tickets for seattle", and the system will instantly search across the application. It uses the power of the full-text search engine included with SQL Server and MySQL, and it’s lightning fast even if you have millions of records. 

The search engine works for you – in this case, the system found a record called “Gabriel’s Seattle Plane Tickets”, and even if I didn't type that exactly, the system managed to find it. For each search result, the system gives me a summary of the record. If I want to view the bill – I just click on the hyperlink. It’s that easy!

Search has been enabled on more than 60 different screens, and partners developing solutions on Acumatica can also search-enable their own screens very easily.

Search works for help as well, and will give you results in the blink of an eye. It not only shows you a summary of the article, but also where the article is locate.

To finish off, I would like to show you one last little feature that will make you even more efficient. Using the universal search box, you can also locate any screen or report by name, without knowing the exact location. As I start typing, the system looks through the site map, and shows me all matching screens and reports. Going to the screen is as easy as pressing ENTER, or clicking on the link!
