Help for Lotus Notes 8 (basic configuration) - Searching a view for text in document titles

SEARCHING FOR INFORMATION

Searching a view for text in document titles
You can use the Edit > Find/Replace command to find text within document titles in a view. For example, you could use the command to find any mail in your Inbox that has specified text in the Subject line. This is a quick way to find documents, but it searches only the text that is visible in the view, and not the text contained in the body of a document.

To find text in view titles

1. Open the application to the view you want to search.

2. From the menu, click Edit > Find/Replace.

3. In the Find field of the Find dialog box, enter the text you want to find.

4. (Optional) Click Find options to refine your search using these options:

Option Searches for text

Case sensitive That is capitalized exactly the way you enter it in the Find field. If you do not select Case sensitive, Search finds all occurrences of the text, regardless of capitalization.

Accent sensitive That contains the accented characters you enter in the Find field. If you do not select Accent sensitive, Search finds all occurrences of the text, regardless of accents.

Whole words By finding matches for the word you enter only if it exists by itself and not as part of another word. For example, if you select Whole words and search for log, Search will not find a match in logical and catalogs.

Forward From your current position in the view toward the bottom.

Backward From your current position in the view toward the top.

Wrap at start/end By cycling through the view repeatedly. If you do not select Wrap at start/end, Search stops searching when it reaches the bottom (forward searches) or top (backward searches) of the view.

5. Click Find Next. A matching document is highlighted in the view.

If no match is found, a message displays to that effect (click

to close the message).

6. Click one of the following buttons:

Find Next, to find the next match
Close, to finish this activity
