Search for a file:

To search for a file open the Find dialog by clicking $images\ebx_-1487147725.gif$ on the toolbar or selecting $images\ebx_1475975053.gif$ "Recover" -> "Find..." from the menu (alternatively, you can press the "CTR+F" key on the keyboard). After the search is completed, the found files appear in the $images\ebx_-1650969795.gif$ Searched category of the Folder List.

Using wildcard characters:

A wildcard character is a keyboard character such as an asterisk (*) or a question mark (?) that is used to represent one or more characters when you are searching for deleted files. Wildcard characters are often used in place of one or more characters when you do not know what the real character is or you do not want to type the entire name.

	Wildcard character	Uses
	Asterisk (*)	Use the asterisk as a substitute for zero or more characters. If you are looking for a deleted file that you know starts with "gloss" but you cannot remember the rest of the file name, type the following: gloss* This locates all files of any file type that begin with "gloss" including Glossary.txt, Glossary.doc, and Glossy.doc. To narrow the search to a specific type of file, type: gloss*.doc This locates all deleted files that begin with "gloss" but have the file name extension .doc, such as Glossary.doc and Glossy.doc.
	Question mark (?)	Use the question mark as a substitute for a single character in a name. For example, if you type gloss?.doc, you will locate the file Glossy.doc or Gloss1.doc but not Glossary.doc.
