      How to do a Full Text Search in FileBound

      The full text search operation searches the contents of a document as extracted by the Optical Character Recognition (Site-OCR) automation process.

      Note: Documents need to be OCR'd and the 'Enable Full Text Search' option needs to be selected by an Administrator for the project before full text searches can be performed.

      2. Click Advanced Search Options to expand the section.

      3. Enter the full text search criteria in the Full Text box or click Options to open the Full Text Search String Builder .

      4. Click Update.
      5. Click Search.
