Annotation Text Search
You can search for all documents that contain a sticky note, text box, or callout text box with a particular word or phrase in the annotation's text. You can use wildcards to create a more flexible search, or learn about searching for annotation content using advanced search syntax.
To search by annotation content
- In the Search Pane, click Customize Search and select Basic Search.
- In the Search terms text box, type the annotation text you want to locate.
- Under Search within, select Annotation Text.
- Click Search.
Tip: To open an annotation and the page it appears on, double-click the desired context hit. Context hits appear in the bottom pane of the Search Results window.
Note: Performing an annotation text search is not the same as performing a text search. Annotation text searches will not return results from the text pages of a document. Likewise, a text search will not return results from a document's annotations.
