 * I posted another question, but it mysteriously disappeared.
 * Anyway, here’s another one.
 * Is there a way the search feature can search all files located in sub-directories
   while in the root directory listing?
 * Thank you,
    David

 * “I posted another question, but it mysteriously disappeared.”
 * My apologies, I see where Mr. Stark answered the original post but it shows his
   name as the last entry to the thread. I’m not use to this system, so that’s my
   fault.

 * Errrr. I marked this post as resolved when it’s not. I’m sorry.
 * I simple want to know if I’m in a root directory looking at various directories.
   Can the search took look for files within those directories without having to
   be in them first.

 * Sorry, no. This question has been asked several times before. The search utility
   is javascript based and it searches the conents of the html table, not the server.
