Article summary

Item search

The cash register contains a flexible search function.


Hits are sorted by relevance when searching (hits on whole words before hits on parts of words).
When searching for text, you will search across all text fields associated with the item: item text, receipt text, color, size, etc.

  1. Enter the search string in the Input field.

  2. Press OK.


You can search for whole words or the start of a word. You cannot search freely within a word, but you can search for parts of compound words (e.g., you can search for ‘brush’ if the item is called ‘toothbrush’).

We do not recommend searching for single characters (letters, numbers, symbols) when searching for items.

 When you have obtained a search result, you can change the search order by tapping the header of the column you want to sort by.

Note:

The solution includes a defined dictionary for your language including known words in the language.


The maximum number of hits returned is configurable. If you are unable to find the item in the search results, you should narrow the search by entering more of the word or several words/parts of words.


Combined search for item

You can perform a combined search using text and a price range, for example.

The search string nike 100, 900 will return all items that contain the text nike as part of the name/color/size and which cost between NOK 100 and 900.

  • If you enter only one price in the search string, e.g. nike 100, you will see a list of all the items that have the text nike as part of the name/color/size and a price around NOK 100.

  • If you enter the search string 100, 900, you will see a list of all the items that cost between NOK 100 and 900, sorted by descending price.

PS!

When using English, use decimal points instead of commas.

The options available may vary depending on what you are searching for.
