Can I use the Ad-Hoc query tool to search through Open-Ended text?

Yes. Using Ad-Hoc querying tool you can search for text data from the collected data.

Before searching for text data please make sure to Create/Refresh Text Index.

What are the three different search mechanisms?

Depending upon your query criteria (to narrow down your searches) you can search based on the following :

  1. Text Data - This searches through the open-ended (comments etc.) fields that your respondents have entered in.
  2. Analytical Data - Use this to search for users who have responded to any of your multiple-choice questions.
