Using bFIND from bSquare

With bFIND you can search for a word or text string in any

database, file, filename, or e-mail message stored on your

HP Jornada. Simply enter the characters you want to search

for in the initial bFIND dialog box, and bFIND retrieves all

occurrences of that string. bFIND is integrated with existing

programs, so, double-tapping one of the search results within

bFIND launches the program in which the string was found

and opens the document containing that search string.

bFIND includes default script files for the standard

Windows CE programs, databases, and file types. These

script files help bFIND interpret search results and drive

other applications to complete the searches that are started

within bFIND. You can search any or all of the following

areas:

•

E-mail messages

•

Contacts, Appointments, and Tasks databases

•

Other databases (Pocket Access databases, for example)

•

File contents (including Pocket Word and Pocket Excel

files)

•

File names (searches files and folders)

•

bFAX packages

To start bFIND

1. On the Start menu, point to Programs, point to

Accessories, and then tap bFIND.

For detailed procedures about using bFIND, see online Help.
