Enable Content Indexing

Enable Content Indexing in Vault so users can perform full content searches in Vault client applications.

This enables you to search throughout a vault for a specific text string within a known file type, as well as file properties. The Content Indexing Service must be turned on to perform full content searching in any of the clients. By default, textual content is not indexed.

Note: In a multi-site environment, only files at the local site are returned for a full content search.
