Searching just in 1 vault so I can move them

Excellent job on your part dealtek Thanks for letting me know this helped.

Hi. I am happy to report that your last 6 step method Does Exactly what I wanted! This makes perfect sense. Thank You Very Much!

ok thanks I will give it a try.

That's would be the easiest way I can think of to help narrow this down. Later on you can use the collection to contain any vault you use group by suggestions like work, home/personal, shared etc.. Or you can remove the collection. As you can tell I am a huge fan of collections.

If you would rather not use that method. Try this and see if it helps.

1. Select the vault in the side bar.
2. Press command + F.
3. You should see =vault:YourVaultName Where YourVaultName would be the vault you are working in.
4. Type you search string. e.g., =vault:YourVaultName xyz
5. Use the show all results.
6. You should only see items matching xyz from the specific vault.

so in my case you mean create collection with just my one vault - then search?

I think our posts crossed. Sorry about that. I was using a collection. Please try using one and then search for the desired term.

I believe you are looking for show all items. That will find all times xyz ...

but I am looking for = show all items within the 1 chosen vault only. still in the dark how to achieve this ...

Thanks for the help

Try creating a collection first, that is how I segment my vaults. You'll select a collection first, then search.

Use collections to create custom groups of vaults

I believe you are looking for show all items. That will find all times xyz Be careful you do not pull in any unwanted items. It may happen. That's where the shift + click selection would come in.

Thanks for your help

1 - I choose vault
2 - CMD F find xyz

but next all that shows is a new list of results right below search box...

If I click on one - then it goes to it in middle column but search is lost...
or
at bottom it says - choose all matching names... if I choose that it LOSES the vault

did I explain my problem?
