Tips
In the Search Documents or Search for documents containing text box, you enter one or more words. The search returns files containing these words, whether they are in the body of the file, in keywords, or in other file properties. By entering more words, you make your search more specific and limit the number of documents found.
The search finds files containing various forms of the words you enter. For example, searching for "swim" finds any documents containing "swim," "swimming," or "swam."
Note Word forms are used only if you are searching in English, French, Spanish, German, Dutch, Italian, or Swedish documents.
