Using Easy Searches

When you perform a search by entering your search criteria in the Search field, you are performing an Easy Search.

Use the Easy Search to quickly search for a phrase or set of words in a document’s content or document name.

To perform an easy search:

  1. Type your search term in the Search field.

  2. Click the Magnifying glass to perform the search.

    The search results appear in the following order.

    • Documents containing the exact phrase in the title.

    • Documents containing the exact phrase in the document.

    • Documents containing one or more words in the title.

    • Documents containing the words in the same sentence or in proximity to each other.

    • Documents containing one or more words in the document.

After performing an easy search, that search then appears in the Quick Searches filter for the remainder of your logged-on session. This is known as a session search, which means it appears only during your current logged-on session. Simply click a session search to perform the search again.
