One of OfficeDrop’s most powerful tools is the document search engine that comes with each OfficeDrop account. You can find words, numbers and phrases within your files – fast!
OfficeDrop’s search is a little different than traditional document search that you may be familiar with, because OfficeDrop looks within your files for the search. This includes doing something other services don’t offer – optical character recognition “OCR”.
OCR and Document Search
OCR (optical character recognition) is the software we use to turn a simple scanned image of your paper into a fully text-searchable digital document. Once OCR is employed, applications can recognize individual characters and effectively “read” the document. OCR is the software that makes it possible to text-search your scanned documents.
Document Phrase Search with OfficeDrop
Many of our clients have thousands of files stored in the OfficeDrop system, so narrowing down the search quickly may seem daunting. Thankfully, with document phrase search, finding the right file quickly becomes a lot more manageable.
Here is how phrase search works. Use quotation marks around a series of words to narrow down your search to words that appear in that specific order. So, if you put “invoice number” in quotes in the search box, the OfficeDrop search would first return results with those words next to each other.
Phrase Search
That’s how easy it is! And phrase search works on your mobile devices as well, so you can use it on the go.
