Using the Search Bar
The Search function is a quick and easy way to find any version of any file that you have archived
with this software. You can search for a filename by typing part of the filename in the Search bar or
by typing in a wildcard. The Search function will look for all files that this software has ever archived.
A disk does not need to be present when performing a search.
Entering a filename - searching one file
It is not necessary for you to remember an entire filename to begin a search by filename. You can
begin a search by entering the first 3 characters and the software will begin displaying filenames that
match.
For example, knowing that you might have some files beginning with the word "meeting", you can
type in "mee" and the software will display filenames as in the screen excerpt at right. You can scroll
up and down and click on a filename or click on the search icon at the right of the text box.
If you found the file you were looking for in the drop down window of the search, click on the file. The
filename will appear in the text box. The search for the file can be completed by clicking on the search
icon at the right of the text box or pressing Enter on the keyboard.
See the topic Interpreting the Search Results for details on how the results are displayed.
Entering a filename - searching multiple files

You can search for multiple files by typing the beginning of a filename into the Search bar. When the
software begins finding matches, as shown above, you can click on the search icon at the right of the
text box and the software will display the first 1,000 matches. In order to see less than 1,000
matches limit the search parameters.
You can also perform a search for multiple files by entering characters along with a wildcard
parameter. For example, you can search for word processing files by entering "*.doc" or search for
spreadsheet files by entering "*.xls", and so on. You can narrow the search, using our "meeting"
example above, by entering "mee*.ppt", so that only filenames with "mee" and having the extension
".ppt" will be searched.
See the topic Interpreting the Search Results for details on how the results are displayed.
