File Manager: Searching

You can search for files and folders by name without browsing for them.

Running a search

1. Click Search on the toolbar, or press Ctrl+F, to open the search box.
2. Type at least two characters. Results appear as you type, and you can press Enter to search immediately.

Use the Subfolders checkbox to control whether the search looks inside subfolders or only the current folder.

Working with results

Results are listed with a Location column showing which folder each match is in. Click a result's location to go there. If nothing matches, you'll see "No results found".

While searching, the breadcrumb shows that you're viewing search results, and the navigation pane is paused. You can still select results just as you would in a normal folder — see Selecting files.

Leaving search

Leave search with the × (Exit Search) button, or by pressing Esc. You'll return to the folder you were in — see Navigating folders.
