the right project and then broaden your search criteria. To search for all files,
leave the File named and Containing Text fields blank and click Search (no

Search Basics
A basic search consists of the word or phrase you want to find. The basic rules
for formulating queries are:
■ The Ignore case check box is selected by default, so you can enter your
search criteria in uppercase or lowercase characters.
■ You may search for any combination of letters (a-z) and numbers (0-9).
■ Punctuation marks (alone) can be searched but not quotation marks and
parentheses.
■ Group the elements of your search using double quotes " or parentheses
() to set apart each element. Quotation marks and parentheses must be
paired to make a valid search string.
