Search by Reference or Keyword
Both classic and modern forms support keyword and reference searching. If you are looking to link a form in a big list of forms, it's easier to search for it rather than scroll through the list.
Reference Search: Reference search functions the same as a normal reference search by finding the form based on the reference number you end. This is is the fastest way to get results.
Keywords Search: This allows you to search with keywords that are in the document name/title
Wildcard Searches: Supports wildcard searches (e.g., Plumb* will search for Plumb-ing, Plumb-er, Plumb-ed, etc).
Search Initiation: Supports pressing Enter to start the search.
Keyword Search Results: When performing keyword searches, results are sorted by modified date. Also, remember to use an Asterisk '*' at the end of keyword to search for all versions of that word (i.e. Plumb* will search for Plumbing, Plumbed, Plumber, etc)
