Search and filter
The File Library has two separate searches. One, in the Files panel, covers the whole project by file and folder name. The other, inside an open document, looks for a phrase in what processing extracted from that one file. Filter and Sort live inside the first search field, as trailing icon buttons, not as separate controls.
Searching the whole project
The Files panel carries one search box, with a placeholder that reads Search this project and the accessible name Search files. It is the same box wherever the panel appears — as the File Library route's own rail or as a feature's side panel, at the project root or inside a folder — and it always searches the project's files and folders by name, never just the folder you are standing in.
Typing runs the search after a short pause, so you are not searching on every keystroke. A cross appears beside the box while it holds text, labelled Clear search; pressing it, or clearing the box by hand, restores the tree.
| What you see | When |
|---|---|
| Searching all files… | While the request is in flight. |
| A count line, for example 18 files · 3 folders | Once results land. |
| Select all results | Beside that count. It ticks every finished file in the result set in one press. |
| No files or folders found over Try a different search term | Nothing matched. |
| Retry search | The request failed. |
While a search is running the tree shows a flat result list rather than a hierarchy, so the root row steps out of the way.
Filter
Filter and Sort are icon buttons inside the search field itself, after its clear cross — not controls beside it. Filter's menu (named Filter files for assistive technology) is built from what is actually in the folder, so every option reflects what is really there.
| Section | What it offers |
|---|---|
| Type | One row per extension present, plus the common formats (PDF, DOCX, DOC, XLSX, XLS, PPTX, PPT, TXT, CSV, EML, MSG, PNG, JPG, JPEG) even where the folder has none. Rows carry no count. |
| Status | One row per status — Completed, Processing, Validating, Needs attention, Failed — also without a count. |
| Clear filters | The last row, shown only while something is filtered. |
Filters combine: choosing two types shows files of either, and adding a status narrows that further. The Filter button reports how many are active in its tooltip (Filter (2)) and its accessible name (Filter (2 active)). There is no chip row — the active filters live in the menu itself, and Clear filters at its foot removes all of them in one press.
Where the folder has more files than are loaded, the menu enumerates the whole folder before it can count honestly. Loading all filter options… covers that moment.
Sort files
Sort files opens a four-option menu, and your choice re-fetches the folder rather than reordering what is on screen.
| Option | Order |
|---|---|
| Newest first | Most recently added first. This is the default. |
| Oldest first | Oldest added first. |
| A - Z | By name, ascending. |
| Z - A | By name, descending. |
There is no separate option for title or for date added, because the library sorts folder contents by name or by creation date only, and those two would have been duplicates of A - Z and Newest first.
Searching inside a document
The search reads what processing extracted
Everything the reader can find in a document comes out of processing, which is also what fills the document detail screen: the summary, the key facts and the parties.
Open a document in the reader and the toolbar carries a magnifier labelled Search in document. It searches the text Judicio extracted, which means it works on scanned pages too: the matches are found in what optical character recognition read, not in a browser text layer that a scan does not have.
Results are listed as page-attributed snippets under a heading that reads Searching…, then either No matches or a match count. Selecting a snippet takes the reader to that page and highlights the phrase. A plus after the count means there were more matches than could be listed.
What the library does not have
There is no way to save a search for later, and no cross-project search: everything above is scoped to the project you have selected. To search a different project, switch to it first.
