Search for documents and mail across projects
You can search for documents and mail across all visible projects using the same fields as the Super Search field.
This is particularly useful if you have programs of work that are spread across multiple projects, or you need to search across multiple modules in a single project. The top 25 results (based on relevance) from each project are displayed. Projects are searched sequentially in the order they are listed on the search results page.
Tips:
- You can use Boolean Operators, wildcards and advanced string searches in the Cross Project Search field.
- You can stop the search at any time by clicking the Stop Search link.
- You can't configure the results of this search or export the search results.
