You can search for documents in projects as follows:

1. Select either of the following from the menu bar:
   • File > Document Archive > Search From All Projects - Search for documents from all the projects in the project archive.

4. Once you have defined the search criteria, you will get a list of documents as the result. Do one of the following:
   • Open a Document for Viewing.
   • Open a Document for Editing.
   • Edit the Document Information.
   • Copy the Document Information to the Clipboard.

Note

• The search function searches for documents only from the projects you have saved with the Vertex BD version 10.5 or later. When you save a project, the program creates a FILEREG database in the project folder. If the database can’t be found, the documents of the project can’t be searched for.
• If the program finds a lot of documents matching the search criteria, only the first 2000 of them are displayed. You can search for more documents by clicking the Search more button in the Search Documents dialog box.
