Running a simple search

A simple search matches your search words against indexed text and against text properties. A simple search looks in the internal and external locations that are designated in your advanced search screen.

A simple search returns documents that have at least one of your search words. The search results first display documents that have all your search words and then, second, display documents that do not have all the terms but have at least one.

To narrow your search, you can use quotes and operators. For details, see Using quotes and operators to narrow a search.

To perform a simple search:

  1. In the Search field at the top of the page, type the text for which to search. To separate text, you type a space. To search for a phrase or for combinations of words, you can use quotes and operators, as described in Using quotes and operators to narrow a search.

  2. Click Go.

  3. While the search runs, Webtop displays the first page of results. To view the status of the search, click Processing in the upper right corner of the page.

  4. To revise the search and run it again, click Edit Search and then following the instructions in Running an advanced search.

  5. To save the search, click Save Search (for more information see Saving a search).
