Search for a Library

You can search for a library in the library browser by its name or description.

Open the library browser by selecting System | Libraries | Libraries.

The search targets all main folders when you open the browser and none of the main folders is selected, or when the main folder All Libraries is selected. If necessary, activate another main folder. Search option Search Libraries is selected when you open the browser. Type a search query in the search field on the upper left side of the browser.

You can use wildcard characters, such as an asterisk (*) and question mark (?) in the search query. The question mark stands for a single character, and the asterisk stands for any combination of characters.

If instant quick search is enabled, the program performs the search immediately after typing the character string without clicking a search button or pressing the Enter key. The program searches for the character string from all fields or from the document label.

If instant quick search is disabled, press the Enter key or click to search for the character strings from library descriptions.

You can enable or disable the instant quick search in the browser settings. Edit the browser settings by selecting Edit Settings.

The search results are displayed in the right side browser pane. Open the library by double-clicking its thumbnail image.

You can also search for a library by its name or description as follows:
  1. Select the main folder to search. If you want to search from system libraries, your own libraries and building libraries, select All Libraries.
  2. Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu.
  3. Select Search Libraries.
  4. Enter a search query in a text box.
  5. Click OK or press Enter.
Note:
  • System tab is only available if you are a system administrator.
