Search dialog box

Look in Folder

Displays a list of sites, document libraries, the drive, and folder or managed library in which you want to search for the document or images.

After you use the Open File dialog box to open a document from a managed library, the path listed in the Look In box on the Open File dialog box defaults to your local cache. When you open another managed document, you can select the document from the local cache list, and the document in the managed library will be checked out and opened.

Note:

You cannot search managed and unmanaged folders in the same search. Two individuals searches must be performed.

Selecting the check box causes folders beneath the folder listed in the Look in Folder to be searched.
