Taleo Enterprise Edition, problem with quotes....

[Joseph Litvin]

I use the enterprise edition of Taleo and it is supposed to recognize standard boolean strings but it is not accepting quotes, I really need that.

For instance, when I use this string ("Marketing Decision Support System" OR MDSS) My results show resumes with marketing or decision or support or system. I need my results to have the results in the exact order.

Any advise?

hmm..I haven't had that issue. I will go back in and try it again and see what happens. Have you tried using other strings as well and still not working?

[Stephanie Huff]

Are you using it in the general search query area or in the advanced search? Under advanced search it has to say "exact tern" in the drop down. Boolean will not work if it says Related Terms. I did a search in my system using a boolean search string in the general search and when using the advanced search option and everything came back accurately.

I have the same issue with Taleo Enterprise , for instance with "security architect", it will return results that contain security and architect, but it is not looking only for the exact expression "security architect" . It is treating these as seperate terms, as if I wrote Security AND Architect. I'm trying these searches in Taleo Advanced Search in keywords with Exact Term selected.

Also our stemming doesn't work as directed. Taleo Online Help says to use a $ before words to stem them, i.e. $opt to return optic, optical, optics, optomechanical, etc. However, $opt will only return results containing OPT by itself. Whereas the wildcard * at the end of the word will work to stem, i.e. opt*. nice thing is it means strings for monster will work.

actually it looks like its working for me, it appears to highlight all of the individual words in my query, not just the exact expression. so in searching for "mechanical engineer" it returns only results that contain the exact phrase "mechanical engineer" somewhere within their profile, but it is also highlights other instances of mechanical and engineer as well. which is confusing.

Kameron,
It appears that it works intermittently. In a recent search Taleo worked find using quotes. On and off again problems are the worst to solve.
Thanks for your reply.
