# Data Search Strategy

Choose the strategy for searching your data models.

#### Wildcard over all fields

* Send the query to every field in the data model. 
  * Not recommended for large systems as it can be slow.
  * It can mean fields you do not want to query, are.

#### Don't search

* This will not search data models and assumes your data is in the text content object.

#### Selective fields

* This uses any searchable settings applied to your data model attributes.
