## Search

KnowledgeTree provides three versatile search options simple (quick) search, advanced search, and saved searches. Search is permissions-based, so the system only returns items that the logged in user is allowed to access.

Specify a search term to search all text - including document metadata and the contents of the following file types (if your administrator has configured these options): MS Word, MS Excel, MS PowerPoint, Adobe PDF, and Plain Text files.

Please Note: words shorter than 4 characters long (e.g. "the" or "for") are discarded from the search. Search also only ever returns fully matching words (e.g. "Know" will not match "KnowledgeTree").
