Getting Started > KnowledgeTree Search > Running a Quick (Simple) Search

This procedure performs a quick search on KnowledgeTree documents and folders.

By default, quick search is on content and metadata, including:

•	metadata field values

•

filename

•

full path

•	document ID

•	document content

•	discussions

Note: To limit your search to Metadata only (matches metadata values), click the down arrow adjacent to the search button to change the quick search option.

Perform the following steps:

1.	Log in to KnowledgeTree's web interface; then, enter search criteria in the Search bar, either of the following:

•	a single letter, e.g. 'k'

•	a single letter, plus '' (e.g. d finds content matching words starting with 'd')

•	a single word, or part of a word, e.g. 'templates' or 'temp'

Note: Content search results match exact phrases and highlight partial matches.

All database queries (metadata) match partially.

•	start and end of a word, with '' (e.g. dk finds words starting with 'd' and ending with 'k')

•	use '?' to match a single character only

Note: The default quick search is on 'Content and Metadata'.

2.	Press Enter, or click the search button; then, view search results.
