Computer-assisted qualitative data analysis: using NVivo
Which of the following is a kind of search that can be carried out in NVivo?
Single node search
Intersection search
Specific text search
All of the above
All of the above
There are three main types of search that you can conduct in NVivo. If you want to see all data coded under a particular node (single node search), select the node in question at the “navigation” window. You can also search to find instances of text coded for two separate nodes, by using the “queries” button to open a “Coding Query” dialog box. Using the “Edit” button on the top tool bar, then “Find”, opens the “Find Content” dialog box (shown in Plate 25.11, p615), which helps you to search for all instances of a particular word or phrase. This type of “string” search may uncover “in vivo” codes (expressions used by research participants), which can then be created as nodes in their own right.
