Searching from a browser
Domino.Doc has a powerful search capability that allows you to search
library-wide for documents, across multiple file rooms and file cabinets. It
also allows you to set up search queries to specify particular locations and
criteria for finding an item.
You can perform either a simple search, or an advanced search.
• To perform a simple search, enter a search string in the ‘Search for’ box,
and click the Go button. Domino.Doc will search the library for any
occurrence of this text and return a list of documents that contain it. A
simple search takes longer than an advanced search because it searches
the entire library.
• To perform an advanced search, use the procedure described below.
You can search by words, or search by forms, if available. An advanced
search limits the search to specific file cabinets, binders or document
types, or to certain dates. You can restrict the number of hits returned,
and specify how to arrange the view. (The forms search option is
available only if the file cabinet creator customized the template to
include SearchByForm as a custom subform.)
• You can save the search criteria, the query, so that if you need to
perform the search again, you don’t have to reenter complex
definitions. Instead, you can open the query and initiate the search. You
can also modify the query before performing the search.
• You can delete the query when you no longer need it. (You are limited
in the number of searches you can have in your list. Therefore, when
you no longer need a search, you should delete it.)
Performing an advanced search
To perform an advanced search, perform the following steps:
1. Click the Advanced Search link next to the search box at the upper right
side of the Domino.Doc page.
2. Select a search type by doing one of the following:
• Choose “By word,” and specify the words you want to search for.
• Choose the “By form” option, if forms exist, to select the appropriate
form, then enter the field information you want to search for,
separating multiple values with a comma.
