Searching
for Files in an Archive
StuffIt includes ArchiveSearch, technology
that allows you to search for files that are stored within StuffIt and
Zip archives.
Open ArchiveSearch:
To open the ArchiveSearch dialog, click the ArchiveSearch button
on the Toolbar, or click the ArchiveSearch tab.
Searching
for Files: ArchiveSearch works much like the Find Files feature
in Windows. To search for a file located in an archive:
1. Enter the name of the file you are looking
for in the "Search for Files or Folders named..." field.
2. Choose the drive that contains the archives
you wish to search in the "Look In" field. You can choose to
search all drives by choosing My Computer.
3. Click the Search Now button to begin the
search.
Files that match your request will be displayed
in the Search Results panel. You can then choose to extract a matching
file from its archive, expand the whole archive, or open the archive that
contains the file in ArchiveView.
Search Criteria:
ArchiveSearch allows you to narrow you search using a number of
parameters.
Date:
Click the Date check box to reveal
options that allow you to narrow the search by specifying the date range
in which the file you are looking for was modified. Type:
The "Type" field allows you
to specify the type of document you are looking for. You can use this
field, for example, to narrow the search to only Excel Workbooks. Size:
The size field allows you to narrow
the search based on the size of the file you are looking for. You can
specify that ArchiveSearch only return files larger than, or smaller than,
a specified size. Format:
The formats field allows you narrow the search so that ArchiveSearch
will only look in StuffIt archives, or only look in Zip archives.
Search Options: ArchiveSearch
also lets you exclude certain folders from the Search. This can be helpful,
as often you may find archived files in the Windows System directory that
typically will not need to be searched. You can add or remove excluded
folders in the ArchiveSearch
tab of the Options
sheet.
