Keyword Search go to top of page

Due to the various issues that were raised (and different wording), this box can be used to search for certain keywords (or patterns) to only diplay those issues that are similar

For example:

Could be classed as the same issue

The following box can be used to find all issues with the word TRAFFIC, as follows

It does not matter if the word is partial (i.e. TRAFF will match TRAFFIC)

Advanced use of Keyword Search

These are a set of examples of using the text box to improve searches

This type of search is a kind of 'regex' search, for more information on 'regex' click here.

• The following will search for any issue that has MPH or SPEED, (note the "|" character)

  Enter text to search in issues (Warning: don't press <ENTER>, click the <Search> button instead)

  This will find match the following examples:

  • SPEEDING/DANGEROUS DRIVING
  • SPEED LIMIT NEEDS LOWERING
  • 20MPH SPEED LIMIT
  • etc

• The following will search for any issue that has MPH, SPEED, or TRAFFIC

  Enter text to search in issues (Warning: don't press <ENTER>, click the <Search> button instead)

  This will find match the following examples:

  • SPEEDING/DANGEROUS DRIVING
  • SPEED LIMIT NEEDS LOWERING
  • 20MPH SPEED LIMIT
  • TRAFFIC - TOO MUCH HERE
  • etc

• The following is an example where the word FOOT is wanted, and this could match the following:

  • FOOT PATROLS
  • FOOTBALL
  • FOOTPATH
  • etc

  but if someone did not want FOOTBALL then following will refine the search to ignore those entries

  (NOTE the use of the "[^B]", which means NOT "B". "FOOT[^B]" actually means match words that contain the word FOOT but not FOOTB)

  Enter text to search in issues (Warning: don't press <ENTER>, click the <Search> button instead)

  A more 'usable' example is to search for PARK but not PARKING

  Enter text to search in issues (Warning: don't press <ENTER>, click the <Search> button instead)

• The following example is an inverse example

  Find FOOTPATH or FOOTBALL, but not FOOT etc

  Enter text to search in issues (Warning: don't press <ENTER>, click the <Search> button instead)

• The following example is for searching for entries the word PATROL but only in relation to DOG (e.g. Not POLICE PATROL

  (NOTE: the ".*" means any characters between

  Enter text to search in issues (Warning: don't press <ENTER>, click the <Search> button instead)

  So this example could match:

  • DOG PATROL
  • DOG WARDEN PATROL
  • DOG AND OWNER PATROL
  • etc

  But NOT

  • POLICE PATROL
  • SCHOOL PATROL

Street Name Filter go to top of page

The following form allows multiple streets to be matched. To use, select a street (you can use the hold the CTRL key to select multiple streets) and press the "Include" button to move the streets to the lower box.

This filter can be used in cases where the lowest issue (e.g. only 1 card was ever placed for that issue) can be ignored. Also, the highest (the one with the most cards ever placed) can be ignored.

It can be used to filter to a specific count (e.g. all issue where only 10 cards were ever placed)
