Search Two Folders in Vault

[Phil_Scull]

Hi Vault Enthusiasts

I am an occasional Vault user accessing a database created/belonging to our sister company.

Because of the way information has been stored, it would be useful to search two specific folders and their sub-folders simultaneously.

These two folders are at the same level in the folder structure and sit alongside a further ten folders.

If I run the search on the folder containing those folders (i.e. one folder level higher), this brings in the additional ten folders with duplicate, or near duplicate files.

Difficult to describe but I hope that's clear.

Thanks

Phil

You can perform an Advanced Search and use the Folder Path property to specify both subfolders.

Thanks Irvin

That's exactly what I was looking for.

@Phil_Scull: If I remember correctly, you have even better control if you click on the "Browse" button at the top-right of the Advanced Search window and checkmark which folders to look into (and any below those selected, so remember to uncheck the very top one for all of Vault).
