WebAccess includes two features to help you search your e-mail, appointments, and
other GroupWise items.
The Search tool: The Search tool (
criteria to help you locate the item you need.
The Find tool: The Find tool enables you to quickly search for an item within a folder.
7.1 Understanding GroupWise Searches
Like other search engines, the GroupWise search engine creates an index of whole words that are
contained in the items being searched. When you search with the Search tool, GroupWise compares
your search criteria and attempts to match them with the words in the search index. Because the
Search tool searches for whole words, Search does not locate partial words or punctuation.
The Find tool, on the other hand, recognizes consecutive characters, even if they are not whole
words, as long as the characters exist in exactly the same order you enter them in the Find search
box.
For example, if you are looking for an e-mail with "Project status meeting next Tuesday" as the
subject, you can search for any or all of the words in the subject in either the search tool or the Find
tool.
The following are among the successful search criteria to find that e-mail in each search tool:

Example
