Search for an item
The Search tool, located at the top right corner of the interface, allows users to search for a specific file. By default, Search will search all files in the home directory. You can also limit the search to the document root at/home/user/public_html, or to the directory displayed in the file window.
To search for a file, perform the following steps:
- Use the Search menu to choose the directory to search: All Your Files, only public_html or Current Directory.
- Enter the desired file name in the text box.
- Click Go.
A new window displays the filenames that match your search. To go to a folder, or to the containing folder for a file, double-click the desired item in the list. If there are no files that include your search term, you will see the message No records found.
