Look for different inflected forms of the words in Quick Search
To search for a particular word form, disable the option Look for different inflected forms of the words in Quick Search in the Additional Conditions dialog. When you do this to search for, say, the word corporation, the search results include only those objects that match this exact word, not corporate, incorporated, and so on.
Look in the metadata of all versions
When you select the Look in the metadata of all versions option, the search operation looks for results in the metadata of all object versions instead of only the latest ones.
- The option is not used in quick searches.
- The property definition setting Do not search for old object versions can have an effect on the results.
Show latest version
When you select Look in the metadata of all versions, the search will be performed on all versions of each object. If the option Show latest version is on as well, M-Files shows the newest version of each returned object instead of showing the old version that actually matched the search conditions.
Exporting search conditions
You can use the Export Conditions function to save the search criteria. To access this search-related function, press the Alt key on your keyboard and select .
The generated text file contains the search criteria as a string that can be used with the M-Files API method SearchForObjectsByExportedSearchConditions. For more information on the method, see the M-Files API documentation.
