For the different search options, the application will return all the results using an AND operation on all the filled-in search fields.

Searches can be made by:

  • Document content.
  • Document name.
  • Keywords (document properties tab).
  • Document type (MIME type).
  • Whole of property groups defined (parametrization).
  • By user
  • Date range.
  • Only in some folder.
  • Has some category
  • In some context, or all.
  • By type ( document / folder / mail )


It is possible to use special characters (wildcards) to do searches, in which case it is important to distinguish between the following cases:

  • In the name field, write "docu". The search will return all the documents that are called "docu" with any extension.
  • In the name field, write "docu*". The search will return all the documents whose name begins with "docu".
  • In the name field, write "?ocu*" . The search will return all the documents where the first character doesn't matter, but is followed by the characters, "ocu".


Once a search has been done, it can be saved for future sessions by entering a name that identifies it and clicking on the "Save search" button. Stored searches are displayed in the side panel.
