Advanced search

bjohas
Hello,

I have difficulty getting the advanced search to work. If I search for creator, very few items are returned, even though there are 10s of items for that creator when searched with the quick search box.

    Are you trying to search your personal library or a group library? The Advanced Search window only searches the former. If you want to search in a group library, you currently need to right-click on the group and create a saved search.

    Ah - the advanced search does not work on group libraries! Instead you have to create a saved search! Is the advanced search on group libraries really not possible?

    Incidentally, is it possible search across all libraries?

    No, no currently.
