Advanced Search

Advanced Search allows you to further refine your search using specific criteria.

It includes the filtering features of Basic Search like Location and File Type, plus you can select from a number of asset tags or filter the results by a date range.
The more filters you select, the more refined your search will be and could possibly set too many limits on your results. Sometimes it is better to start with a broader search.

2. Enter your search term

3. Choose if you want to search keywords(default) or search the text within the documents as well.
