Search for a Document

You can use the search tool on the preferences bar to find a document that has been submitted for processing. The search tool appears on both the Active Documents and the Inactive Documents window.

To search for a document that has been submitted for processing by you or another user:

Click Documents in the main menu and select either Active documents or Inactive documents from the menu option.
In the Search field, select an option from the pull-down list.

In the blank field, either select the appropriate option from the pull-down list or enter a value. The table below explains how to use the for field with different types of entries.
If you want to search the documents on your preferred destinations only, select Preferred Only. (Preferred destinations must be set up on the Preferences page.)

Any documents that match your search entries are immediately displayed in the Active Documents or Inactive Documents lists.

The following table lists and describes the types of entries that you can make in the blank field based on the option that was selected in the Search field.

NOTE: In the Search field the selection Option, allows you to enter and search for any option variable(s) (-o variable) that you create to use with llp. For more information, see the section Option Variables in Chapter 2 of the ROC EasySpooler Developer’s Guide.

Document Search Options
Search Type	Search Options
Text	Enter one of the following: Part of a character string, for example, ray. This entry would limit results to items with the characters ray in them. The beginning of a character string preceded by a vertical bar (\|), for example, \|array. This entry would limit results to items that begin with array. NOTE: The vertical bar may appear as a broken vertical bar on your keyboard. The end of a character string followed by a vertical bar (\|), for example, ray30\|. This entry would limit results to items that end with ray30. A character string surrounded by vertical bars, for example, \|array5\|. This entry would limit results to an exact match with the item array5. A regular expression preceded by a forward slash (/). This option is for advanced users. NOTE: Character entry is not case sensitive except with regular expressions. NOTE: To search for the character /, \|, or !, use a regular expression and place the escape character \ before the /, \|, or !.
Number	Enter one of the following: A single whole number, for example, 100. A numerical range, for example, 101-255. A number preceded by the less-than symbol (<), for example, <100. A number preceded by the greater-than symbol (>), for example, >100. A number or a range of numbers preceded by an exclamation mark (!) to negate the number or range. For example, !100 means not the number 100 and !1-100 means not in the range 1-100.
