Laserfiche Weblink

Laserfiche Weblink is a public, web-based portal which integrates with Laserfiche, the document management system utilized by The Colorado Energy & Carbon Management Commission (CECMC). The CECMC stores all of its facility and well-related documents and forms in Laserfiche, some dating as far back as the 1940s and a few to 1905. Documents are indexed by type, class, and ID, and there are variety of search types to help you find what you are looking for.

Search Types

WebLink offers a variety of search types. Clicking Search at the bottom of the Search Pane or pressing ENTER performs the search while clicking Reset reverts the Search Pane to its default state of displaying the WebLink Search.

Quick Search

The Quick Search is located on the Welcome Page, Folder Browser, and Search Page. In the Folder Browser, you have the option to search the folder currently open or the entire repository. This Quick Search enables you to search text, entry names, fields, annotations, or a combination of these. It is an OR search, meaning one OR the other of the criteria must be met. For example, performing a search on "Shakespeare" will return documents named "Shakespeare," documents with "Shakespeare" in the text, documents with a field value of "Shakespeare," or a combination of these.

When using the quick search, partial matches will be returned for entry names, fields, and annotations. This means the asterisk (*) wildcard (representing missing or no missing characters) is automatically implied by default. You do not have to know the exact name of the entry to search for it. For instance, performing a search for the document named "laser" will return documents named "laser," "laserfiche," "lasers," etc.

Note: Partial matches will not be returned for text searches performed with the Quick Search. To return partial matches in a text search, use the asterisk (*) wildcard. For example, to return a document containing "report," "reports," and/or "reported" in the text, add the asterisk (*) to the end of "report" ( report*) since an asterisk represents missing or no missing characters.

Text

To search through the full text of a document for a word or phrase—to perform a "full-text search"—the document's text must be indexed. Although documents whose text has not been indexed can be found through other types of searches, you should strongly consider indexing those documents.

There are two types of full-text searches: basic text searches, the simplest way to perform a search, where you enter information into fields and boxes; and advanced text searches, where you type in a complex search string, which gives you more searching flexibility.

There are five modes for a basic text search.

  • Phrase
    • Search for a single word or phrase.
  • And
    • Search for all documents that contain both specified words or phrases. Selecting this mode will display the Second phrase option, where you can specify the second word or phrase to search.
  • Or
    • Search for all documents that contain one of two specified words or phrases. Selecting this mode will display the Second phrase option, where you can specify a second word or phrase.
  • Not
    • This mode allows you to search for all documents that contain the first specified word or phrase, but not the second one. Selecting this mode will display the Second phrase option, where you can specify the second word or phrase that cannot be found in a search result.
  • Within
    • Search for all documents that contain both specified words or phrases within a specified number of words of each other. Selecting this mode allows you to configure the maximum distance between the first specified word or phrase and the second one. Additionally, it will display the Second phrase option, where you can specify the second word or phrase that must be found in a search result.

Additional search help and options can be found here.
