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.
