Search in Visma Net

Within Visma Net, users can perform searches in help, wikis, and various entities, such as suppliers, customers, invoices, and contracts. To make the process quick and accurate, Visma Net uses semantic search and search indexes.

Semantic search in Visma Net

Visma Net uses semantic search through SQL databases that allows the system to identify the key phrases in text or documents, discover similar or related documents, and provide information to explain how documents are similar or related.

To employ semantic search in your Visma Net instance, make sure that semantic search functionality is enabled in your SQL server.

• In Microsoft SQL Server, the semantic search functionality is disabled by default.
• In MySQL Server, the semantic search functionality is enabled by default.

Search indexes

The search indexes are used to accelerate searching in Visma Net. When users perform the day-to-day operations, such as adding new documents or updating customer accounts, the new information is added to the appropriate search indexes automatically. You need to update the search indexes only after you upgraded your Visma Net system from a version that did not include the search indexes. For detailed procedure, see: Build search indexes.
