Using ArchivalWare's™ full-featured interface, search queries can be conducted using Boolean, natural language (concept), and pattern matching (fuzzy logic) methodologies. Queries can be made against the full-text of digital documents, key metadata fields, or a combination of both.

Retrieval results can be displayed in thumbnail, column, or row format. Search words are highlighted directly on the document image for quick visual reference. Metadata or key-fields can also be used to limit the full-text search or retrieve non-text digital objects, (i.e., search by date, author, publisher, etc)
