 The Backup contents area shows results of searches for files and folders in tib archives. Double-

clicking on a filename opens the file. You can recover the file by right-clicking on its filename and

choosing Recover in a shortcut menu. This shortcut menu also enables you to open the file or the

parent folder that contains that file.

To help you better understand the search results, here is some information on the algorithms used

by the Search feature.

1. When searching files in tib archives you can type all or part of the filename and use the common

Windows wildcard characters. For example, to find all batch files in the archives, type "*.bat".

Typing my???.exe will allow you to find all .exe files with names consisting of five symbols and

starting with "my". It should be noted that search is case-insensitive, i.e. "Backup" and "backup"

is the same search string. Furthermore, the search stops after the program finds 100 files

corresponding to a search criterion you have typed. If the search results do not contain the file

you need, you will have to refine the search criterion.

When a file is included in several backups and it has not been modified, the search results will show it only

once in the oldest backup file. If such a file has been changed, the search results will show all backup files

containing differing versions of the file.

2. Search in the comments to backup archives is carried out differently. First of all, you cannot use

"*" and "?" as Windows wildcard characters. As in this case the program uses full text search, it

will just find all occurrences of these characters in the comments (if any). The full text search

uses the following rules:

 Search criteria consist of words separated by space character(s) or by a logical operator: "AND",

"OR", "NOT" (please, take note of the upper case).

 Only one logical operator is allowed (the first one that occurs in a search string), otherwise they

are ignored and interpreted as search words.

 All space-separated words must be in a topic for successful match.

The Backup names area shows the archive files whose comments satisfy the search criterion.

Double-clicking on an archive opens it for exploring.

13.2 Windows Search and Google Desktop integration

Acronis True Image OEM Quick Backup has plug-ins for Google Desktop and Windows Search (WDS).

If you use any of these search engines on your computer, Acronis True Image OEM Quick Backup will

detect the search engine you use and install an appropriate plug-in for indexing your tib backup

archives. Indexing of backups will speed up searches in the backup archives. After such indexing you

will be able to search archive content by entering a filename into the Google Desktop or Windows

Search deskbar query field without opening Acronis True Image OEM Quick Backup. The search

results will be shown in a browser window. Using the search results you can:

 Select any file and open it for viewing and/or save that file back to anywhere in the file system

(not in the archive) or where it was before

 See in which archive a given file is stored and recover that archive

Google Desktop has a "Quick Find" window. This window is filled with the most relevant results from

your computer. The results change as you type, so you can quickly get to what you want on your

computer. Windows Search provides similar functionality.

In addition to indexing the files in backup archives by their names, the Google Desktop and Windows

Search provide Acronis True Image OEM Quick Backup with the ability to perform full-text indexing of

many files in tib archives, so you will be able to use this feature and perform searches of the files'

content.
