Search Panel

Use

You can use the Search panel to search for files through local and network drives.

Each time you perform a search, a Search tab is displayed in the File list that shows all the files that match the search criteria. These tabs can be used to refine your search further, and they can be closed as required.

A right-click context menu is available, depending on where your cursor is located in the panel, from where you can undo, cut, copy, paste, and delete the bar contents similar to the functionality in most Windows applications.
