About searches

The most important function of an engineering content management system is the ability to quickly and easily find documents. Besides using Navigation views, Meridian Enterprise offers you multiple search methods for finding documents that are described in the following table:

Search methods
To do this... Use this...

Quickly search a single property for values that start with certain text.

Key Find from a property page

Quickly search a single property value using more conditions than available with Key Find or you want to quickly search memo or document content.

Quick Search from the toolbar

Search any properties, use the most conditions, search multiple vaults, or save the results for future reference and share them with other users.

Find Documents from the toolbar

Create shortcuts that open PowerUser and immediately run a simple search and display the results.

See Understanding the command-line arguments.

All Meridian Enterprise search methods are case-insensitive. Searches are limited to the current vault context, whether the Main area, a work area, or a scope.

The following topics describe each of these methods.
