Type the text to search for. Simple search looks for the
text at the beginning of the document title or folder name. You can
search for documents, folders, or both by selecting the appropriate
options. You must select at least one option. In an integrated Office
application, the information you enter for each property is included
in the search criteria.
If you are not sure of the spelling
or other variation used in the document you are searching for, you
can use wildcard characters in your search text. The following tips
provide more information.
- Use a percent sign (%) to stand for zero or more characters. For
example, searching for IBM FileNet P8%Guide could find documents
called IBM FileNet P8 Troubleshooting Guide and IBM FileNet
P8 Security Guide 4.5.0.
Note: Although you can use a percent
sign at the beginning of your search text, doing so causes search
to look through the entire search index for the object store. If the
index is large, search could take a long time to return results.
- Use an underscore (_) to stand for a single character. For example,
searching for r_n finds documents or folders whose name contains ran or run,
but not rain. You cannot, however, include an underscore in
your search text as a literal, because search automatically treats
the underscore as a wildcard character. For example, searching for
all folders that start with Folder_ would return results such
as FolderA as well as Folder_1 and Folder_2.
