Searching for Documents

To search a library, use the –arcsearch command line option:

-arcsearch

-arclib "library"

-arclistfmt tab|csv|pipe|html|xml|xmlf

-o "output file"

-arclogin "userid/pswd"

Refine the search by adding any appropriate arguments from this list: -arcdoctype, -arcdocid, -arctitle, -arcentityid, -arcdate, -arcdateupdated, -arckeywords, -arcnotes, -arccats, -arclinks, -arctext, -arcdocdata, or –arcsubid.  Each of these arguments can be a wildcard (*value* or value*), an exact value "12345", a range "12/1/2007--12/31/2007" (double-hyphen range delimiter), or a regular expression ("~[0-9][A-Z]").  You can use "not" to look for archives that do not match a criteria, and "and" or "or" to search for multiple values or alternate values.

Searches are optimized when possible.  The best optimizations are document IDs, entity IDs, small date ranges, and multi-level categories.

Note that document types and document IDs are case-sensitive when optimized.
