Search within file content

Search the content of your documents to find what you’re looking for.

You can include the content of documents when you search the document register. You can search the content of Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and rich PDF documents (that is, files created in PDF format, not items scanned and saved as PDFs) up to 50Mb in size.

This includes documents already in the register, any new documents that will be uploaded in the future, and results for documents in other languages. A document’s content will be included in any file content searches almost immediately after being uploaded.

Tip!

Note that you cannot search documents that have been scanned.

To include document content in your search, check the Include file content box in the search field.

Tip!

You can refine the search results using the document metadata fields, to find, for example, only Agenda documents containing a certain word or phrase.
