9203_31709_1.png Summary
Tired of searching through multiple conferences to find what you are looking for? Want to make locating information easier? Create a Search conference on your FirstClass Desktop and link (alias) your commonly searched conferences and folders to it. Then, when you need to find something, perform a search on just that conference to locate the desired information within any of the aliased conferences and folders.
9203_31709_1.png Example
Michael Green monitors about 12 conferences. He is constantly forgetting where he saw information that he needs. He decides to link them all to one conference to make his searches easier.
He does the following:
1               He creates a conference on his Desktop called Searches.
8102006_90756_1.png
2               He links each of his monitored conferences into it. To do this:
a               He right-clicks on the conference to be linked and chooses Add to Desktop.
b               He drags the linked conference into the Searches conference.
This is what his Searches conference looks like.

When Michael wants to do a search, he opens the Searches conference, chooses Edit > Find from the menu, and enters his search criteria. All of the conferences that were linked to his Searches conference are searched.

If Michael performs the same searches on these conferences regularly, he may want to consider saving them. They are saved in his Searches container, and he can run them at any time by double-clicking them.
