Search

When you open the Search window, Showell will provide you with recommended files based on your previous file and folder activity. You will also see a list of your recently viewed items, making it easy to find what you're looking for.

By providing your search terms, our powerful search feature scans through folders, files, and document content to quickly give you relevant results.

Search Window

  1. In the Showell App, click Search from the top navigation bar.
  2. Type your search term. You can search for things such as a file title, a keyword found inside a document, a Share recipient’s email address, the subject or message of a Share, or the name of a presentation.
  3. Use the tabs to choose where you want to search. Depending on the selected tab, different filter and sort options are available:
    1. In the Files tab, you can search through files in your workspace. Use "Search from" to choose the location you want to search in, or use "Filter" to narrow your results by file type, keywords, or languages. You can also "sort" the results in the way that works best for you.
    2. In the Shares tab, you can search for Shares and narrow the results using quick filters. For example, you can "filter" by active or expired Shares, recently visited Shares, team collaborators, or Share recipients. You can also "sort" the results as needed.

    3. In the Presentations tab, you can search for presentations you have created yourself, as well as presentations created by administrators that are available from the main workspace content.

    💡 For files and presentations, click the "folder"-icon to reveal the file path or location. You can also click the "three-dot menu" to access quick actions, such as sharing the item or adding it to your collected items.
