4.4.1.13. Number search with units (explicit and implicit)

Examples:

  • Numerical values are in their Base unit indexed. You can also enter a desired unit as a search operator in square brackets []. [9]

    • A search for 5 will find 5 mm and 5 INCH.

    • A search for 25.4[mm] will find both 25.4 mm and 1 inch.

    • A search for 1 [inch] will find both 1 inch and 25.4 mm.

  • Values can be searched for in inch notation (e.g. 3 1/2 )

    A fractional representation is evaluated as inches by default and a conversion to mm takes place automatically in the background so that mm values are also found.

    1/2

    1 1/2

  • If you want to search explicitly for mm with fractional representation, you must add "mm" in square brackets.

    [Note]Note

    The search is only carried out numerically if the unit is explicitly specified, otherwise it is also carried out textually.

    1/2 [mm]

  • If you want to search explicitly for inches with a decimal value, you must add "inch" in square brackets.

    [Note]Note

    The search is only carried out numerically if the unit is explicitly specified, otherwise it is also carried out textually.

    0.5 [inch]

  • You can also search for inch by specifying "from-to".

    1/2 - 3/4

    1 1/2 - 1 3/4

    For from-to specifications, the unit can also be specified after the values.

    1 1/2 [inch] - 1.75 [inch]

    If there is no explicit specification, the last token defines the unit.

    The following search therefore still leads to inch results, as the fractional number is automatically evaluated as an inch.

    1.5 - 1 3/4

  • Inch values could also be part of order numbers, for example.
