How to use the Advanced Search in M-Files

Sep 15, 2025

This video covers all the ways you can use search to quickly find the information you're looking for.

By far, the most efficient way of finding your documents and other objects is to use the M-Files search functions. This is especially useful when you remember only a single detail about the document or object, such as the creation date or the user who created the document.

The advanced search and filters allow you to define more search criteria related to the properties and location of the objects that you are searching for.
