THE SEARCH BUTTON/SEARCH SCREEN

Click on the “Search” button from any view in the Data Viewer to bring up the Search Inventory screen. This screen is not an actual “view” into your data, but rather a data input screen.

This screen is where you can enter keywords, phrases, or any other alphanumeric text for which Harbor will search your system inventory and/or custom user database for potential matches.

The Description field at the top indicates which search options are currently selected.

See  “Using the Harbor Search Engine” for descriptions of the workings of your databases, Harbor’s search engine, and search options in more detail. 

The Data Display of the Search screen contains a single editable field called “Search Text”. This is where you enter the words or phrases for which you want to search. 

Separate multiple search terms with commas. For example, if you wanted to find all MP3 files created in 1999 that refer to blue eyes, you might type in “mp3,blue eyes,1999” (without the quotes).

Search screen buttons
The Search screen offers only two buttons to click: the “Search” button and a “Cancel” button (the “Cancel” button temporarily residing where the “Update” button would normally appear.)

Once you have typed in your search text, click again on the “Search” button to execute the search. When the search has completed (less than a second to no more than a couple of seconds, depending on the immensity of your databases), The Data Viewer will display an Inventory Detail view of your search results. 

The “Cancel” button simply exits the Search screen and returns the previously displayed view.
