# Search Functions

In the search field, the following apply:

* Searches are performed on the entries listed in the tree view to the left.
* The asterisk operator, '\*', meaning 'match of any character(s)', is supported.
* The separator operator, ';' (semicolon), meaning that several search criteria can be stated at the same time, is supported.

  Example:

  doc\*;test\* will search for entries matching doc\* or test\*.
* Searches are not case sensitive, meaning that upper and lower case characters are treated as if they were the same.
* Searches automatically includes the extension .qvf and .qvw.

  Example:

  document;test adds the search for document.qvw;test.qvw; hence, the entries document.qvw and test.qvw will match.
