Find What You Seek! Normal Search groups 19
The search text box labeled Kind allows you to limit your target items to the chosen kind(s).
▶
Choose among which kind(s) of items you want InfoClick to search from the pop-up menu that
appears when you click in the Kind field, as illustrated in Figure 31.

The Kind pop-up menu
As explained in “What InfoClick Can Find” on page 7, InfoClick can limit your search so that it looks
among any one or a combination of your:
• emails
• sent emails
• received emails
• junk emails
• trashed emails
• RSS articles
• InfoClick notes and any Mail.app notes and files that have been linked-to in an InfoClick note
• files (that you designated to be searched by InfoClick)
☞
Currently the only way to include files in InfoClick's database is to add a link to the desired
file in an InfoClick note.
The hint text in that field reads: What Kinds of Items to Match. If you do not choose anything from
the Kind group, your target will include all the available kinds. Choosing one or more kinds limits
your search to just those chosen. Choosing all of the listed kinds is equivalent to choosing none.
☞
Clicking Emails does not include Junk Emails, but (naturally) does include Sent Emails and Received
Emails.
While many RSS readers exist for the Macintosh, support for this feature was part of Apple’s Mail
application since Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard was released in October 2007 through Lion Mac OS X
10.7). The use of Mail as an RSS reader was discontinued in Mountain Lion (Mac OS X 10.8). If you
are one of those people who archives your RSS reading locally, on your own hard drive, you can
have InfoClick search through what may amount to many thousands of items.
☞
While Mail can no longer be used to read and download current RSS feeds, any items you may have
downloaded previously can still be indexed by InfoClick.
The search illustrated in Figure 30 would be nearly, if not altogether, impossible in any other tool.
The Attachment search group
The Enron Email Dataset does not contain any items with attachments. In order to illustrate this
search group the more-than-ten years of emails, notes and RSS items of “Yours Truly” will have to
serve as an example.
Suppose for a moment you want to search for an item related to “chocolate” in “Paris” that has a
photograph as an attachment. The hint for the Has Attachment field states: Any Part of File Name.
You can enter any terms you think might appear in the filename, or even their extensions,
searching, for example only for pdf documents or jpg and gif images. Here the search is for items
that contain images and deal with chocolate in Paris.
• Searching for all those items that have “chocolate” in their subject or contents delivers far too
many results (6865), as illustrated in Figure 32.
