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.
