Advanced search operators

Like most search engines, you can use operators to limit the search results from our new Search tool. They'll help you find more relevant matches to your query by searching for specific dates, authors and titles, handy if you can't quite put your finger on where that report is.

To search for a particular phrase containing spaces, surround the phrase with brackets. For example, to find reports authored by Ceri Johns you'll search using createdBy:(ceri johns)

Search by title
title:
e.g. title:health will find reports with 'health' in the title.

Search by author
createdBy:
e.g. createdBy:John will find reports created by persons named John.

Search by organisation
organisation:
e.g. organisation:lambeth will find reports created by persons in Lambeth. You'll only be able to see reports created by other authorities if they've shared them publicly or with all subscribers.

Search by creation date
createdBefore:
e.g. createdBefore:2016-03-31 will find reports created before 31 March 2016.
