You have access to advanced search options when searching folders. This allows you to identify your content quickly and easily.
On the WebFOCUS Home Page, when you select a folder in the tree, the name of this folder is automatically populated in the Search text box. If you select a different sidebar, the name of the sidebar displays in the Search text box. When you enter a value in this text box, the search is conducted in that folder, or for that sidebar only.
Search Options allow you to be more specific in your search. You can specify search criteria, such as Title or Type. This gives you more control over your search, giving you greater precision in your search results.
The Search options drop-down arrow appears next to the search text box, as shown in the following image.
The Search options tooltip displays when you hover over the drop-down arrow, as shown in the following image.
