Using Find

Find is the most advanced search method in Meridian; it can find either documents or folders. It gives you complete flexibility for search scope, properties, and conditions. Find can include referenced documents in its results and its results can be saved and shared with other users.

To run Find:

  1. Use one of the following methods:

The Find Documents or the Find Folders dialog box opens, depending on which method you used to start the command. If you selected Find on a folder shortcut menu, search criteria are automatically typed in the dialog for you. The criteria match the contents of the folder where you started the search.

Note Depending on the value of KeepSearchSettings in the following registry key, your previous search settings are restored.
