11.1 Searching Using Kerry
To find data using the Kerry tool, follow these steps:
-
Press F12 to open the Kerry Beagle
Search window. Alternatively, open the search window
by left-clicking on the Kerry applet icon (a magnifying glass
over a sheet of paper) in the system tray.
-
Enter the term to find in
. To quickly clear the
previously entered text, press the black arrow on the left.
The search is case insensitive. It does not matter whether
you use uppercase or lowercase characters. To search for optional
terms, use the OR keyword (in uppercase). For
example, Mars OR Venus finds
all data containing any occurrence of Mars, Venus, or both. To
exclude search terms, use a minus symbol (–) in
front of them. For example, Mars
-Venus finds all data containing any
occurrence of Mars but without any occurrence of Venus. To
search for an exact phrase, enclose the phrase in quotes. If
you want to include only certain file type in results, specify
its extension with ext:. For example,
Mars ext:xml finds xml files
containing Mars.
-
Select the scope of the search in
on the right. To

start the search. Results are displayed in the main area of
the window.
Results are displayed in a window, sorted according to your
settings. Click any item to activate it. To open a
folder containing a found file instead of the file itself, click

You can change the sort order at any time by right-clicking
