Finding Items 

To search for items select "Find" from the "Actions" menu or right-click on the file type listing and select "Find". The find feature lets you search for specific items or several items using one search string and several criteria.

  1. To start searching enter the search string into the "Find What" text field.
  2. Next select the items you would like to search for. You have to select at least one item.
  3. Finally select the criteria you would like to include in your search. You have to select at least one criteria.
  4. Click the "Find Next" button to start your search.

After clicking the "Find Next" button File Type Manager will find the first item that matches your search terms. Items are searched in the order they were loaded from the registry, not in alphabetical order.

If you have previously searched, then clicking the "Find Next" button will cause File Type Manager to resume the search from where the last item was found. To reset the search and start from the beginning close the "Find" window and then start a new search.

If an item matches your search terms it will be selected in the file type listing. If no item is found or File Type Manager has passed the end of the listing and will resume the search from the top, then a message box will be displayed.

Note that searching is case-sensitive. This means that "Search String" is not the same as "search string".
