View source for Making a search

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.
