💡 FAQ
Can I search inside a document?
Certainly! Showell has the ability to search within all documents to locate the specific search term you are seeking. However, at this time, it does not have the capability to highlight the search words within the document itself.
Can I search for exact matches in the search results?
To ensure you find exactly what you need, enclose your search term in quotation marks ("term"). This will help narrow down the results and provide more accurate matches.
How do I know the path/location of a document I searched for?
You can click the folder icon next to the document in the search results, or you can open the document and click the folder icon next to its name in the top menu bar. This action will display the document's path/location.
