List of Options
The following options are displayed.
Name & Location Tab
Filters the file search based on file type, file name, and location.
Named
Specifies the full or partial file names to include in the search. When entering
multiple file names, enclose each name in quotation marks. Use the following
wild-card characters to broaden your search:
■ * (Asterisk): Matches any string and can be used anywhere in the search
string.
■ ? (Question mark): Matches any single character; for example, ?BC matches
ABC, 3BC, and so on.
The type of files to include in the search is determined by Type, so you don't
need to enter a file extension in Named. For example, to find house102.dwg,
enter house* and set Type to Drawing (*.dwg).
Type
Specifies the type of files to include in the search. Available file types are
limited to those supported by the specific standard file selection dialog box.
Look In
Specifies the location to search. Enter a location, choose a location from the
list, or choose Browse to navigate to a location. When entering multiple
locations, enclose each location in quotation marks.
Browse
Displays the Browse for Folder dialog box, in which you can navigate to a
location for the search.
