Search Results in Other Vaults

When you do a search in M-Files, the Search Results in Other Vaults pane below the search results listing shows the number of results in other vaults. If the vault icon is blue, there are matches in that vault. If the vault icon is gray, the search results are not available or there are no matches in that vault. When you click a vault in this pane, you go to that vault and see the search results.

Search results in other vaults are not updated if your search is filtered by additional conditions or search refinements.

Tip: The search results are gotten from the vaults to which you are logged in. You can click Show all to also see the vaults to which you are not logged in. You can set your login account to be automatically logged in to a vault when Windows is started. For instructions, see Log in automatically when Windows is started.

To hide or show the Search Results in Other Vaults pane, right-click an empty space in the listing area and select Display Mode > Show Search Results in Other Vaults.

You can also minimize the Search Results in Other Vaults pane. This only shows the heading of the pane until you expand it. To do this, right-click an empty space in the listing area and select Display Mode > Bottom Pane > Minimized. This setting changes all the panes shown at the bottom of the listing area.
