Search

Papermerge DMS offers an extensive searching mechanism that is designed to allow you to quickly find a document you're looking for.

When you search Papermerge DMS for a document, it tries to match this query against your documents. Papermerge DMS will look for matching documents by inspecting their content, title, and tags.

Note

Papermerge DMS searches only in content of the last version of the document

By default, Papermerge DMS returns only documents which contain any of the words typed in the search bar. However, Papermerge DMS also offers additional search syntax if you want to drill down the results further.

Matching inexact words:

*5951

Will return document with title: brother_005951.pdf

Matching specific tags:

tags:paid

will return documents with tag "paid"

You can match document with logical expressions:

pizza AND salami

will return all documents containing both words: "pizza" and "salami".

pizza AND (salami OR speciale)

will return all documents containing either "pizza" and "salami"; or "pizza" and "speciale".

Note

Logical expression must be in capital case, otherwise they will be ignored.

Implicit logical expression is "OR". In other words, if you search:

pizza salami

is same as you would search with following query:

pizza OR salami

All of these constructs can be combined as you see fit. For example, following search query will return all documents tagged with "important" and contain word "pizza":

pizza AND tags:important
