QuickBase Straight Up

It’s common knowledge that an advanced search in QuickBase will look inside the contents of a text field for your search phrase. But did you know that QuickBase can also search inside the full text of file attachments? Simply select the file attachment field and choose either “contains the word” or “contains a word that starts with.” Perform your search, and QuickBase will return all the records that match your query.

 

This feature does not allow you to do complicated searches: QuickBase will only use the first word of your search phrase, and ignore everything after that. However, this is still a handy tool for digging up old records or attachments.
