QuickSearch can be used in Worksheet on the Content tab and from the Part Number field, the filter QuickSearch is available in the Content tab.
Use QuickSearch from the Content tab
In the Content tab of the Explorer pane, start typing a part number in the QuickSearch field.
The program displays a list of possible matches, up to a maximum of 50. This list contracts as you type in more of the part number.
By default, the QuickSearch filter is on so that the search is performed on the current level (catalog or section). To turn off this filter, see Filter QuickSearch.
Select an item from the list by double-clicking on it.
Note: QuickSearch displays a maximum of 50 matching parts. You can change this number in the Preferences dialog. See QuickSearch preferences for details.
Filter QuickSearch
By default, the QuickSearch filter is on so that QuickSearch searches only within the current level. For example, if you navigated down to a catalog, only that catalog will be searched. If you navigated down to a section, only that section will be searched.
To turn the filter on or off, click the filter button in the Content tab.
To see the difference with the filter on and off:
Make sure that the QuickSearch filter is on.
Type a part number that is from a different catalog. Notice that nothing is found even if the entire part number is entered.
Click the Filter QuickSearch button to deactivate it.
Type the same part number. Notice the list of possible matches from all catalogs.
Use QuickSearch from the Part Number field
In the worksheet area, click in the Part Number field.
Start typing the part number.
As you type in the part number, the program will display a list of possible matches, up to a maximum of 50. This list will contract as you type in more of the part number.
Note: By default, QuickSearch will provide a list of possible part numbers in all available catalogs. If you want the search limited to a certain manufacturer or catalog, enter a value in the Mfg or Cat fields before typing the part number.
Double-click on the desired part number to fill in the information.
Note: QuickSearch displays a maximum of 50 matching parts. You can change this number in the Preferences dialog. See QuickSearch preferences for details.
