HP Palmtop 620X, Palmtop 660LX manual To select Search Locations

If you enter a file name in the “Look For” field, bFIND searches for it using the default filter filename *.* as the file filter. However, if the “Look For” text con- tains an extension delimiter such as “.”, bFIND will use the text as is, for example, if you search for “the.pwd”.

To conserve memory, bFIND will abort each search after it has found more than 50 items. If bFIND does not find the item you are looking for within the current 50 items, try creating a more specific search by modifying the search string or locations.

!Note

The default search location is the root directory, i.e., My Handheld PC. If you want to run a search on the entire palmtop PC, you must choose to ‘Include Sub- folders’ by checking it or using Alt+I.
