Search Files
1 - Run Embird, it will
start in "Manager" mode.
2 - Select the folder in "Folder:"
box at right panel (Picture No. 1). Embird will search for
files in this folder and in all its subfolders. In this example, we have
chosen the "C:\EMBIRD32\FILES" folder. In case you are using
Embird 2006 or later, you will find some free designs in
"C:\Program Files\EMBIRD32\FILES" folder.

4 - A dialog box will appear on screen, allowing you
to specify the filter for searching files (Picture No. 3). In this example,
we want to search for file with any name and with any extension. You can
specify different search criteria, e.g. "squirrel.*" if you want to search only for
designs with filename squirrel and any extension, or you can specify e.g.
"*.dst" if you want to search for designs with any name, but with .dst extension. Click
"OK" button to continue.

5 - Another dialog box will appear on screen, allowing you
to specify additional search criteria (Picture No. 4). In this
example we want to find a design containing "car" in keywords
(see also File Summary Info tutorial).
These boxes might be left blank in case no additional criteria are
required. Click "OK" button to continue.

matching the search criteria. Once the search process is finished, the
results are displayed as thumbnails (Picture No. 5).
