  • Phrases or key words
  • Document name or content.
  • Should, must, or must not contain logic
Can limit files to dates in periods ranging from the last week to the last 2 years, or select a beginning and ending date range. Can request from 10 to 500 results to be displayed. Can order results by date, title, or relevance.

All files that meet the criteria are shown in a window in order selected. Unless the versions box is checked, the results panel will not include files found in either version or review folders.
