Making a search

In the different search options the application will return all the results making an AND operation in 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 into some folder.
• Has some category
• On some context or all.
• By type ( document / folder / mail )

It is possible to use special characters (wildcards) to make 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 whose first character is indifferent, but is followed by the characters, "ocu".

Once a search has been made this can be saved for future sessions by entering a name that identifies it. Stored searches are displayed in the side panel.

Any search can be saved to use later by user.
