When you enter a search term (a word or phrase) in the simple search box, the term is matched to documents or other objects that have the search term within the document itself or within the object’s properties. This kind of search is called a “full-text” search.
It searches the files in your default search location. Your default search location is specified in your search preferences. Set search preferences, describes how to add a search location. You can search several repositories at the same time but you also have the possibility to search external sources such as external databases, web sources or your desktop.
If your repository has been indexed for parts of speech, Webtop displays files that include variations of the words you typed. For example, if you type scanning then Webtop also looks for files that contain the words scan, or scanned.
To run a simple search:
In the box above the navigation pane, type the words for which to search.
