The Advanced Search allows you to search for entries and folders based on multiple conditions in one vault at a time. To search multiple vaults simultaneously, please refer to Multi vault Search.
The Advanced Search is available in the ribbon of Remote Desktop Manager or by pressing F11 on your keyboard.
It is possible to select multiple entries at once by Shift-clicking or all of them with the Ctrl+A shortcut. Right-clicking one or more entries shows the same menu and options as in the Navigation pane.

Settings
Use the settings to completely customize search conditions.
- Condition number: To reference a specific condition within your search, select a condition in the drop-down menu. For example, here we want to use the RDP Connection type in our customized condition. To do so, note the condition number.
Go to Settings and check Override logical operator. Enclose the condition number within "{}" brackets.
-
AND Operator: To use "AND", enter the characters "&&".
-
OR Operator: To use "OR", type the characters "||".
There is always an operator ( && ; || ) between specified condition numbers surrounded by brackets.
Parenthetical Order and Priority: You can specify the order and priority of the condition using parentheses: "(" and ")". A parenthesis cannot be next to a bracket, it is ALWAYS next to an operator, both for opening and closing parentheses.
Error Notification: If an error occurs while searching, a message will be displayed asking to check the conditions and try again.
