In ActualDoc you can search for documents by their name or containing text. ActualDoc search through recent documents only, so you save time using ActualDoc search instead of explorer that. To start search, activate Search Frame (using View menu) and specify search criteria:
- Text: a text string you wish to find in documents
- File name: a mask for file name. You can use optional template symbols * and ? (e.g. *.gif or a?t*.jpg;a?t*.png).
- Case sensitive (text): ActualDoc will search for text of exact case
- Whole words only: search for text that satisfy to mask with whole words
- Search in network documents: if checked, ActualDoc will scan network documents too
- Search on removable media: if checked, ActualDoc will scan documents, places on removable media too (CD-ROM, floppy drives, ZIP drives, etc.)
- Through the all base: if checked, ActualDoc will process all documents, otherwise - only displaying ones. This options is actual when you are using filtering or categorizing.
To start search specify some criteria and press Start Search button. When the search will be finished, ActualDoc will display it results.
