Overview of browse and search

Your web administrator sets a preference that determines whether you see the Browse page or the Search page after logging in to a library.

On the Browse page , you can view the library folders like you view folders in Windows Explorer.

On the Search page , you select a search to execute a query. Executing a search displays a list of the items that match your criteria. You can select documents from this list and perform other tasks such as printing and viewing properties.

Either page displays a toolbar that helps you complete your tasks. You can toggle between the Browse and Search pages using the toolbar.

The procedures in this documentation assume you are on the Browse page when performing document management tasks.
