Every page of Ringtail, except the Portal Home page, includes the quick search box on the navigation bar. Use the quick search box to search documents, binders, fields, productions, assignments, cubes, and mines. You can also perform a document-specific search by content, all metadata and coding, and document ID.
Select options on the quick search menu to adjust your search. The permissions set by your administrator determine the search options that appear on this menu. With the exception of cubes, mines, and administrative features, when you select an option, the results appear on the Documents page. Results for cubes, mines, and administrative features appear on their respective pages.
Note: The first time you access the quick search menu, the Document Content option is selected by default. If you select additional options, your selections are saved for future quick searches.
After performing a quick search, you can view and work with the same search parameters on the Search page. Administrative features that allow you to manage items, such as binders, are also available for some search options.
