Search InfoRecall Folders

InfoRecall ties all Folders and documents together through its powerful search engine. With InfoRecall you can quickly find a word, a group of words, numbers, phrases and dates.

Searching enables you to find any information, at any time, regardless of what InfoRecall Folder it was saved to. InfoRecall looks for the search key(s) in both the document names as well as in the document text in Folders located in the current Data Folder.

InfoRecall can do Normal, Exact, Fuzzy and Boolean (AND, OR, IF NOT) searches.

To make searches even faster, InfoRecall allows you to build and use Folder Indexes. An index search is the fastest way to search for something in Folders that you have grouped as an index.

Default Search Settings are:

Search Type

1. Normal Search: Yes

Search Options

1. Match Whole Word Only: No
2. First match each Document: Yes
3. Search Current Folder Only: No

Note: InfoRecall remembers the Search Options of your last search and sets them that way on your next search. InfoRecall will temporarily switch the Search Current Folder Only Setting off if a search is performed without a Folder being open.
