Description

Browse

From the explorer view filter, select Files, and navigate to the managed directory that contains the managed file that you want to find.
Expand the child nodes of the managed directory to navigate to the managed file. The managed files are displayed in the Files list view.

Note: If you are working in an extended sites store, you can also navigate to the root directory for the asset store to view files under managed directories for both the selected extended sites store and the asset store.

Simple Search

To perform a simple search, navigate to the find area.

Type a search string in the search field.
Note: Use the asterisk (*) before and after your search string. For example, to find all managed files containing a path that contains "ABC", type *ABC* in the search field.
Any special character (for example, &, %, #, @, and so on), is treated literally. The asterisk (*); however, is only treated literally when used between two asterisks (such as *xxx*xxx*), or used in the middle of a string (such as 123*789).
Click Search .
The system performs a search of managed file names based on your search criteria. This is a case-sensitive search, and the managed files are returned in alphabetic order.
Once you find the managed file you are looking for, double-click the file to open it in the properties editor.

The search returns up to 500 results.

Note: If you search for managed files in an extended sites store, the system will return all files that meet the search criteria and belong to this extended sites store or the asset store.
