Search best practices

iMeet^® Central offers three main ways to search for content contained within the system.

• Simple search

  Lets you search all your Documents, Files, Discussions, Tasks, Databases, Events, and Comments within all the Workspaces you have access to.

• Advanced search

  This allows you to perform a search based on multiple criteria. You can run a search to "include all words," "exact phrases," "none of the words," and even include filters on file types and tags.

• Advanced project (workspace) search

  A workspace search based on Project Properties is a powerful tool that you can use to quickly retrieve and display workspaces you are a member of. If your company utilizes Project Properties, we recommend using this tool for creating filtered views of workspaces. This can be extremely beneficial if you are a member of 20 workspaces or more and need an easier method to navigate to your workspaces. Search results can be further filtered and sorted. Your saved searches can be as simple as searching for workspaces with certain titles or you can search for more advanced details such as specific custom project property fields.
