How to do a Global Search on a Data Collector
*************************************
1) Open up the Start Menu
On a Carlson Explorer � tap the Blue 2nd Function key in the upper Left of the Keyboard & then tap �W� on
the Keyboard
On an Allegro - hold the CTRL key and tap the ESC key
2) Tap Start / Programs / Tools / Command Prompt
3) Type in: dir *.crd /s /p
Type it with the spaces and everything {i.e. � dir space *.crd space /s space /p}
This procedure can be used to search for all file types. (.rw5, .txt, .crd, etc.)
If you happen to know the file name that can also help: JONES.crd, instead of *.crd.
The * acts as a wildcard.
Hit Enter! This will show you all the CRD files that are in the Data Collector, no matter what Directory they are
stored in. IF they haven�t been Erased from being stored outside of the SystemCF directory on an Explorer or
outside of the C_Drive directory on an Allegro.
---> Or if you would like you can simply download the attached file {Search.bat} below and copy it to the SystemCF
folder of an Explorer or the C_Drive folder of an Allegro. Then exit SurvCE / double-tap My Computer / open the folder
you saved "Search.bat" into / tap twice on "Search.bat"
It will run this search command automatically so you don't have to type it in. Just hit enter to view each screen
one-by-one, when the command finishes you can hit enter twice to exit out.
