Add items to the SimpleSearch index
You can add items to the SimpleSearch index on a folder-by-folder basis. Use these
steps to add the items in the My PaperPort Documents\Samples folder to your
index.
1. In the Folders pane, open the My PaperPort Documents folder if it is not
expanded.
2. Right-click the Samples folder and select Add to SimpleSearch. A progress
dialog box appears to show you the progress of the indexing.
You can now search for indexed items.
Update the SimpleSearch index
You can also index all items in all PaperPort folders at once. However, if you have a
lot of documents in any of these folders (like your My PaperPort Documents
folder, for example), this could take a long time.
1. On the Desktop, click the Search button. The Search pane replaces the
Folders pane.
2. In Search Options, select the Use Index for Searching check box.
3. Click Update Index. The time it takes to complete depends on how many
items you have and how long it has been since your last update.

1. On the Desktop, click the Search button. The Search pane replaces the
Folders pane.
2. In Search Options, select the Use Index for Searching check box.
