Quick Search Filters

Quick Search Filters feature allows users to save the most common search filters and save them as their personal defaults. The saved filters are then applied automatically every time the user runs a search. The user-defined defaults are saved per user, and hence each user can have their own personalized search filters.

The quick filters are presented when the user clicks on the search bar.

Search Current Folder or Entire Account

Users can search within their current folder or across the entire account. By default, the search is limited to the current folder. To search all folders, change the location setting to All Folders.

Search for Items Containing Any or All Words

Users can search for items containing any or all of the entered search words. By default, results include items matching any of the words. To restrict results to items containing all search words, select All Search Words from the dropdown menu.

Search Through Folders or Files

Egnyte accounts can contain tens of thousands of folders and files, making it difficult to locate a specific item. The search feature lets results be filtered by type; select Folders to return only matching folders, or Files to return only matching files.

Filter Search Results by Modified Time

Users can narrow down search results to files modified within a certain time period by using the Modified Time filter. They can choose to see only files modified within the last 24 hours, week, month, three months, six months, or year, or define a specific time period.

Save User Defaults for Quick Filters

Users can save specific quick filter settings for most of their searches by clicking the gear icon.

Once locked, these filter values are populated automatically every time users start a new search. Users can override them for ad-hoc searches by choosing different values from the dropdown menus. Clicking the gear icon again restores the system defaults.
