Parameters

vaultidentifier (String): The vault to search.

Wildcard (String): Optional file-system wildcard pattern. By default "*.*"

documenttypenames (Object): Optional variant. A variant array of names of document types to restrict the documents included in the search result. If this parameter is not specified, all document types will match.

properties (Object): Optional variant. A variant array of property names that are used as search criteria.

criterias (Object): Optional variant. A variant array of criterias. An option of the Find command is a criterion operator (labeled as Condition in the PowerUser client). A typical criterion has three parts: a property, an operator, and a value. For example, Custom.ProjectNr equals 2134, where equals is the operator.

values (Object): Optional variant. A variant array of values for the properties provided in the properties parameter. The length of the lists should be identical.

Return Value

An array of strings containing document identifiers matching the find criteria.
