These are the basic steps involved in searching for documents.
Identify what you are looking for
Before you can search for information, you must decide what type of information you
are looking for. Think about what you want to find and its information or properties. This
will help you choose how to search for the entry you want to find.
Select the appropriate search categories
Select search types best suited for search
finding the information you want. You
can search by one search type, or
WOi
combine different kinds of searches.
When combining multiple searches,
only search results that satisfy all your
search criteria will be returned.
Example: If you are looking for all
documents that deal with rocket
science and have been updated since
2008, you can combine a search for
that modification date with a full -text
search for the phrase "rocket science."
However, if you know all desired
documents have a "Subject" field that
stores this information, you can
combine the modification date search
with a field search instead.
Tip: You can vary the search criteria
to produce different search results: if
too many search results are returned,
refine your search criteria to be more
specific; if not enough search results
are returned, broaden your search
criteria.

The Basic search, which is accessed via the Search Pane, allows you to search the
same criteria the quick search does (text, entry names, fields, and annotations).
Other Searches
There are a variety of other search types you can search on
in the Search Pane. For example, the full -text search is an
especially useful search that searches the full -text of a
document. Combining it with a field search is also useful
because you can limit your search results to a specific
document that has specific text and that also has a specific
field value. Select the search types and enter the
information to search for each type.
Perform the search
Once you have specified what you are looking for, click
the Search button at the bottom of the Search Pane to start
searching.
View the desired search results
After performing a search, the results will be displayed in the
Contents Pane. A search result can be viewed by double-
clicking it.

After you have performed a search, you can choose to search within your results using
the Refine results button. When you click this button, any new search criteria you
specified will be used to search through only the set of entries from the previously
returned search results. This option is especially useful if your first search returns a very
large number of results and you want to narrow down your results from this set using
additional search criteria.
Note: When performing a search using more than one search type at the same time,
search results must meet both search criteria. Most search types with no criteria
specified (blank fields) will impact your search results, though some search types can
be left blank without affecting other searches being performed, such as a full -text
search.
