Searching For Files and Folders

Files Advanced allows you to easily search servers for the items you need. Searches are performed on the server-side, providing fast search results and minimizing bandwidth usage.

Searches can be performed on the currently browsed folder or on the entire shared volume being browsed. This is controlled by selecting either the This Folder button, or the shared volume button to its right. The shared volume button will display the name of the shared volume being browsed.

Two types of search can be performed:

• By Name - by default, Files Advanced searches for files and folders by name.
• By Contents - this option searches for files with the desired search term in their file contents. Search results will also include files and folders with the search term in their name.

Note: In order for By Content search to function, the Files Advanced Gateway server has to have Windows Search services running and configured to index the files being shared with Files Advanced. If your IT administrator has not installed Windows Search, you will only be able to search By Name.
