Search and Replace Text in a Corpus
You can easily search for text across the documents in a corpus, and even replace occurrences of the searched text with another text.
Follow these steps to search a text across a corpus:
- Open LogosLink Desktop.
-
Open a corpus by clicking on the Open button in the Home ribbon tab.
Alternatively, open the backstage and click on Open to select or browse for a corpus.
LogosLink Desktop shows the corpus in a new window.
-
Apply a filter or collection as necessary.
Only active documents will be searched.
-
Switch to the Corpus ribbon tab and click on Search & Replace.
A Search and Replace page appears.
- Enter the text that you want to search.
-
Select the properties where you want to search.
By default, LogosLink Desktop searches in the documents' title and content, but you can change this.
- Select whether you want the search to be case sensitive, use whole words only, or ignore diacritics.
-
When you are ready, click the
button.
The search results appear in the list.
Search results are organised by document.
-
You can double click a search result to navigate to the associated document and text content.
You can also save the search results as a manual collection via the
button, or export them to a text file by using the
button.
Once you have searched for a text, you can replace every occurrence with another text if you want.
Follow these steps to do it:
- Perform a search as indicated above.
-
Make sure that the corpus is in read/write mode.
You can check and change this via the Access Mode button in the Home ribbon tab.
-
In the Search and Replace page, click the Replace... button.
A dialog box will show.
-
Enter the text to replace the found text with.
For example, if you have searched for "immigration" and want to replace it with "migration", type in "migration".
-
Click OK to perform the replacement.
LogosLink Desktop will replace the text across the documents.
