Saved Searches

There are two ways to run a saved search in Laserfiche Mobile.

Run a search that has been previously saved in Web Access

You can access and run saved searches that were saved in Laserfiche Web Access.

Press the search button in the top right.
A list of searches saved within Laserfiche will be displayed under Saved Searches. Press the saved search you want to run.
To view a document or folder returned from a search, press it.

Note: Searches saved in Web Access can not be deleted from Laserfiche Mobile.

Create an HTML File with Search Parameters

You can create an HTML file with embedded search parameters, place it in the repository, and open the file to run the search.

Create a new text document and open it.
Paste the following text into the document:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//W3C-//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN”>
<html>
<head>
<title>Saved Search</title>
<meta http-equiv=”REFRESH” content=”0;url=lfmobile://servername/mobile/index.aspx?db=repositoryname#search=searchterms;view=search,imageenable=true”></HEAD>
<BODY>
Searching...
</BODY>
</HTML>

Replace servername with the name of your server, repositoryname with the name of your repository, and searchterms with the search syntax of the search you want to run.
- To easily find the search syntax for your search, run the search in Web Access and then click the Advanced Search Syntax button in the Search Pane.
- Make sure you adjust the search syntax to be compatible with URLs. For example, {LF:modified=”9-4-2012″} has several characters, like braces, that are not always compatible with URLs. Correctly encoded, the search syntax looks like this: %7BLF:modified=%229-4-2012%22%7D.
Save the document as an HTML file.
Import the document to your repository. When the document is opened, the search will run.
