Search for documents

From here you can search all documents that you have access to. These can reside in: a MetaShare workspace, OneDrive, Microsoft Teams or any other SharePoint site.

The search for document tab looks something like this. You will most likely have other names on your columns and filters, as defined by your organization.

The page has 3 areas: results, filters, toolbar.

Results

The main zone presenting a list of documents.

Above the list of documents you have a search box that allows you to search for documents.

While there is no search query, the documents are sorted by the Modified date in descending order. If you search for a keyword, the documents will be sorted by relevance.

Clicking on a document’s metadata values will filter the documents on the value.

Filter menu

The left zone, showing filters that you can open and select to filter the results on the value.

When you open a filter, the available options are listed. You only see filters and filter values that have matching results.

Once you have filtered/refined on a value, it added to the select filters, next to the search box.

Tip!

You can also select a filter by clicking a value in the results.

Toolbar

Selecting a document will show the document’s functions in the toolbar.

Here you find these functions, from left to right:

On the far right you will always have these functions, regardless of selection:

  • Number of selected documents, with the option to deselect them
  • Toggle visiblity of the top bar and filter menu
