and then click the 'search' button 
(folder/binoculars) at the bottom of the 
screen. 
Instructions Bubble: If an instructions bubble is 
present, you'll need to click once to close the 
bubble, and then again to open the file-search 
screen. 
If Remote

screen (if applicable). When ready, click 
[OK]. 
Tip: You can close the screen and select 'local' 
for local files.
3)  Select your desired criteria at the top of 
the quad search screen.

may not be available until you open the
