Home > Collaboration Procedures and Reference > Repository Searches and Queries > Search for Text
You can search iGrafx files stored in the iGrafx repository for any text they contain. You can also search for text in non-iGrafx files if your administrator has enabled full-text search for SQL and Oracle databases in your repository.
Wildcard searches are supported, and are not case-sensitive. For example, a search for “auto* -diesel” may return all documents with the words “auto,” “automotive,” and “automobile,” but only if the word “diesel” is not in the same document.
Set Search Parameters
You can limit searches for terms in repository documents by one or more of these elements: file names, notes, swimlane names, non-iGrafx files, and other text.

In the Search Options dialog box, select the check box next to the items to include in the search.

Click OK to dismiss the dialog boxes.

Files that contain the term you entered appear in the search results box ordered by file name and name of user if the item is checked out of the repository.
