1. Introduction
At the top of your query's page, the search fields are where you enter your search terms as part of the configuration of your Call Search query.
In a query, each search field has its own search output. This means that once the query is run, each search field has its own “series” displayed in the Time Series.
You thereby have two options to add search terms to a query:
- adding a search term in a new search field, which will track the appearance of that search term independently from the ones listed in other search fields of that query.
- adding a search term to an existing search field, which will track the appearance of that search term jointly with the one of the other search terms in that same search field, as if they were synonyms.
💡 Example:
In the picture below, the appearance of the search terms "conscious" and "awake" is jointly tracked and displayed in the graph with the green series. As you can see below, this joint search is however independent from the search for the "what happened" search term, which has its own (purple) series in the graph.
2. Step-by-step guidance
Depending on how you would like to structure your transcript search, you have two options to add a search term to a query:
