CaseMap allows you to quickly search case data because it automatically creates a comprehensive index during the import process. You can search and locate all instances or "hits" of your search terms in spreadsheet records, linked files, and annotation notes.

Search terms can be more than one word. They can also be numbers, text phrases, or a combined use of terms and search operators. A search term is typed into the Search field with results displaying in the Search Results navigation pane and in the Search Results spreadsheet pane.

You can click on each spreadsheet listed in the Results pane of the Search Results navigation pane to view only those records and linked files that contain your search terms. Search hits found in linked files can be viewed in CaseMap's DocManager file viewer. Search hits found in annotation notes can be previewed in the Search Results spreadsheets pane and viewed in full in DocManager. For more information, see Viewing search results.
