Using the search box
The BlueMind solution features a powerful search mode, enabling full-text searches within emails, contacts or events.
For contacts and the calendar, searches are carried out on the content of contact records and events, including tags. You can use truncation ( * ) to replace part of a word in a search. For example:
-
invit*: will search for words beginning withinvitand will find, for example,invitéorinvitation -
inv*ion: will search for words beginning withinand ending withion, such asinvitationorinvention.⚠️ Response times for searches using the ‘
*’ character are significantly longer than for a simple search.
For emails, in addition to full-text search of content and attachments, you can refine your results using multi-criteria search. Visit Searching in messages for further details.
To improve efficiency, the number of results displayed is limited à 500 pour les e-mails, à 75 pour les contacts et à 100 pour les évènements.
If there are more results, we recommend refining your search.
Update the solution
When administrators update the server, an alert appears at the top of the user interface, indicating that a new version of BlueMind is available. Simply click the "Click here to reload the page" link, or reload the page from your browser, to ensure that the latest changes are taken into account :
It's important to keep your BlueMind solution up to date. This improves application performance in the event of a slow or unstable network, and provides an optimal application experience.
