Nisus InfoClick - Manual (Page 23)

Find What You Seek!
Finding an email or note in InfoClick is an incremental winnowing down process. InfoClick uses
selectors: words, numbers, symbols and other useful criteria which you pick to narrow down your
search to find what you seek.
What InfoClick Can Find
The InfoClick database stores an index to all the mail and RSS articles you have stored in Apple’s
Mail.app as well as any InfoClick notes you may create. The target of your search we call an item. It
can be:
• emails
• sent emails
• received emails
• junk emails
• trashed emails
• RSS articles
• InfoClick notes and any Mail.app notes and files that have been linked-to in an InfoClick note
☞
InfoClick also indexes notes created in Mail.app and files that have been linked-to in an
InfoClick note.
• files (that you designated to be searched by InfoClick)
