Query Types
- Queries allow for searching for specific words, codes, or combinations of codes to extract text from the research data.
- Queries can be accessed from the Explore tab in the toolbar at the top.
- In this example, results from a text search are displayed. Again, note the sidebar on the right showing the variety of file types that are represented by the results. The Reference tab will display any text for all search results, the rest will display file type-specific results.
- The coding query allows for queries to recall text that has been tagged by one or more codes.
- In the example above, results are displayed for all text that were tagged with the Economy code or any if its sub-nodes, and the attitudes code and any of its sub-nodes.
- Again, note the sidebar on the right, which delineates the results by the type of file that is contained in the project.
- Use the query wizard for these and more complex queries, and see this NVivo documentation for more information on the types of queries that are available.
