Searching for Documents

To search a library, use the –arcsearch command line option:

-arcsearch

-arclib “library”

-arclistfmt tab|csv|pipe|html|xml|xmlf

-o “output file”

-arclogin "userid/pswd" | ask

Refine the search by adding any appropriate arguments from this list: ‑arcdoctype, -arcdocid, ‑arctitle, ‑arcentityid, ‑arcdate, ‑arcdtmupdated, ‑arckeywords, ‑arcnotes, ‑arccats, ‑arclinks, ‑arctext, or –arcsubid.  Each of these arguments can be a wildcard (*value* or value*), an exact value “12345”, a range “12/1/2007-12/31/2007”, or a regular expression (“~[0-9][A-Z]”).  You can use “not” to look for archives that do not match a criteria, and “and” or “or” to search for multiple values or alternate values.

Searches are optimized when possible.  The best optimizations are document IDs, entity IDs, small date ranges, and multi-level categories.

Note that document types and document IDs are case-sensitive when optimized.
