Search for a map

The Search Files feature is particularly helpful for finding a map that contains some specific text. You need only to specify the text you want to find, the folder(s) or Mindjet Connect workspaces to search through, and the topic fields to check. You can also use this feature to search through a set of linked maps (multimaps).

When the search is completed, you can click on a topic in the Search Results window to open the map and jump to the matching topic.
