ServiceDesk Ticket Search by Number, Title or Description

This project is offered as an alternative to the builtin ServiceDesk Ticket Search function.

The primary difference being the ability to search the Ticket Description.

The following examples explain further:

• Number search:

• Title search:

• Description search:

         NOTE: The searched text is enclosed in braces, this signifies that the Description contains a match.

One can expect this project to perform slower than the builtin ServiceDesk Search function.

-- The following index is recommend by the Database Tuning Advisor (Estimated improvement: 46%)
