Searching

There are two ways to search files in DocuWorks Desk: "Index Search" and "Normal Search".
  • Index Search
    A fast search method that uses Windows Search.
  • Normal Search
    A conventional search method for DocuWorks 7.x or earlier. It takes more time than using Index Search. DocuWorks document attributes can be the target of search.
