Find |
The text you want to find. If you type multiple words, FirstClass assumes that all words specified must be found (the same behavior you would see if you preceded each word with +). To specify that an exact phrase must occur, enclose the phrase in double quotation marks. To specify that a word or phrase must not occur, precede it with -. |
Include |
The type of object you are trying to find. The value Everything includes objects in addition to containers, documents, messages, and files (for example, calendar items). |
Only items created or modified in the last |
Choose a time period, or type the number of days, to retrieve only objects created or modified during this period. |
or from... to... |
The date and time range you want to search. Choose the value you want at each field. If you are searching by date, fill in these fields or "Only items created or modified in the last", not both. |
Unread items only |
Only searches objects that you haven't read. |
Subcontainers |
Searches the parent container plus any subcontainers. This may increase search time significantly. |
|
Max. depth |
How many levels of containers to search. Specify "1" to search the top level only, "2" to search that level plus the next level down, and so on. Tip To search for all unread objects in conferences on your Desktop, specify "1", combined with "Unread items only". |
|
My containers only |
Only searches containers that you created. |
Subject/name and other list fields |
Searches all information that can be displayed in list view, with the exception of "From" and "To/Cc" names. |
Attachment names |
Searches the names of files attached to objects. To find all objects with attachments, select this and leave "Find" blank. |
"From" name |
Doesn't apply to external folders or drives. Searches message senders' names. This is useful for finding all messages sent by a specific person. |
"To/Cc" names |
Doesn't apply to external folders or drives. Searches recipients' names in the "To" and "Cc" fields of messages. |
History records |
Searches the names in objects' histories. This may increase search time significantly. |
Text body |
Searches the content and envelopes of objects. This may increase search time significantly. |
