Then you can perform the search in the Quick Text Search field as usual.

To deactivate the option, select again the Search on all columns option.

Note

When the Search on All Columns option is activated, the search process may
be slower.

Warning

If you perform a Search on all columns without having displayed all the columns,
you will not be able to identify in which column the search string has been found.
For the sake of clarity, it is recommended to display all columns when you
perform a Search on all columns.

12.4.3. Search for Synonyms

Users have the possibility to perform a search for word synonyms, provided that they
have been defined in the SQL thesaurus file and that the corresponding option has been
set in the General setting Freetext searches behavior.

Then, a search performed with a search string will return the predefined synonyms as
well. This function can be used to search for translated words.
