Restore Filter

Restore

This search feature allows you to search directories, files, and folders.

To make it more flexible, the search feature offers filtering. You can add additional pattern upon searching. Pattern includes the following criteria:

  • Contains - these are Directories, Files, and Folders with the name containing the specific letter or word.
  • Exact - these are Directories, Files, and Folders with the exact or accurate name.
  • Start With - these are Directories, Files, and Folders with the name starting with a specific letter or word.
  • Ends With - these are Directories, Files, and Folders with the name ending with a specific letter or word.

It also has the Match Case function, which serves as an additional accuracy when searching for any specific directories, files, folders, and mails.
