PKM universal promotion Series 3: PKM search

Abstract: Understanding the PKM search function in this article allows you to pin the wings of the PKM dream-a variety of ways to quickly find the desired documents.

The maximum reason for PKM is:
You can quickly find the desired materials. One is to maximize the continuity of thinking, and the other is to save time.
Can't it make sense?

First, you need to observe from the interface and find"One-step in-place search ": that is, the search should be clearly located on the main interface, rather than clicking other buttons to display the search interface. Because the most important and commonly used search, Multiple mouse operations are a waste.1Seconds or longer.This is the details of a design, and whether or not it isPKMAn important aspect of professional design !!

Next, I want to learn more about the search:

1. Title search: This function must be supported and the search time should be close to 0 s, that isNo searchIf this function is not supported separately, it cannot be called "Personal Knowledge Management System". The title is the core of knowledge! If you feel that the search is in use, you should be deemed unqualified.

2. Full-text search: This function must be supported. The search time should be about 1 second for 1000 knowledge points, 2 seconds for 2000 knowledge points, and so on. If it is obvious that the search time is longer, it should be judged as unqualified. If the search time exceeds 10 times the above value, it cannot be regarded as a "PKM" tool. Because the biggest reason for the PKM tool is that you can quickly find the information you want,Can't it make sense?

3. Supports space-separated "and" function search: Enter "whether you want to manage your knowledge" to find out the knowledge points that include "whether you" and "Knowledge Management" at the same time. This is useful to advanced PKM users and is a reference for extra points.

4. Integrated Desktop Search: It can integrate desktop search like Google and Baidu, find a document, and open the corresponding "knowledge point editing screen" for reading and editing. This is also essential for advanced PKM users. For example, fuzzy search can be done well by professional vendors, the professional PKM tool provides accurate or even accurate search based on databases. It can be said that the PKM tool cannot be integrated, and the development potential is limited.

Note: desktop search on Google and Baidu is indeed powerful in terms of "Search", but it is mainly an extension of the "window Resource Manager search function". The document itself is opened, there are no tags, remarks, and reviews. In addition, Google and Baidu are unlikely to provide these features, not to mention "knowledge classification system" and "knowledge point Association". In addition, desktop Search has a large degree of information redundancy, unlike professional PKM tools that provide accurate or even accurate search

6. Supports searching by date range
