2. Using Qlik Sense Smart Search<\/span><\/h2>\n

The smart search in Qlik Sense is a global search using which, we can search data from any sheet in an application. Basically, called Smart Search as it provides the user with many smart ways to search data from the entire data set a Qlik Sense application may contain. Users can just type a keyword related to the data they want to search, and all the relevant and possible search results appear as a drop-down list. From this list of results, you can select one result to make a selection.<\/span><\/p>\n

The search only reads the input values from the start i.e. if you search \u201cRead\u201d then the word \u201cBread\u201d doesn’t show as a possible result because it does not start the same way. Although, values like \u2018Reading\u2019 \u2018Reads\u2019 show in the search result because they contain the starting word Read in them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you have all the possible results from the search you make, you can select a result to apply a selection on the data. This selection reflects on every sheet present in that application. Also, all the visualizations present on the sheets will alter their states into just having the values related to the selections made. Thus, upon searching for values and making selections through it, you can study the associations of different data values and fields that exist within a sheet and between different sheets. <\/span><\/p>\n
