Purpose

Find files and folders in EisenVault One using a keyword that matches file names, metadata fields, or document content.

Prerequisites

  • You are signed in to EisenVault One.
  • You can access the departments and folders that contain the content you need.

Before You Begin

EisenVault One searches across:

  • File names — the document or folder name shown in the Explorer.
  • Metadata — values stored in document categories and custom fields.
  • Content — text inside supported documents when content indexing is enabled.

On the full Search results page, matching rows can show a snippet label such as Matched in content, Matched in metadata, or Matched in file name so you can see why a result matched.

The header search placeholder reads Search EisenVault One.

  1. Click the magnifying-glass icon in the top header.
  2. Type your keyword in the search field.
  3. Optional: review matches in the Top Search Result popup while you type on pages other than Search.
  4. Press Enter to open the full Search page with all matching items.
  5. Click a file name to open the document in preview, or click a folder name to open it in the Explorer.
