Searching Vault

Search provides a quick and convenient way to locate files and folders. Use tokens and wild cards to search a vault.

Basic Search - Basic Search uses your search word to look for any property that contains the search keyword. The results are displayed in the grid.

Search By Property - Property Search lets you refine your search criteria based on file properties. Use this feature if you know exactly with which property to search.

Wildcard Support - Wildcards ? and * are supported in the search. Use ? to replace a single character and * to replace multiple characters in your search keyword. The search always looks for files/folders containing the search words, so the result set might be the same if the search word is short and contains a common word. For example, the following search conditions return the same set of result: 'app*', 'app?', 'app' all return results containing apple, application, etc.

Saved Search - You can save the search for future use. Once these searches are saved, they are listed under My Saved Searches in the current dialog, as well as in this location: Autodesk Vault Exporer \ $ root folder\ My Search Folder. You may use the Search folder to edit, delete, and rename the saved searches.
