Find dialog (in Item Navigator)

Use this dialog to find items or folders you want to add to a worksheet. This is useful when you have a large business area, or want to add items from different business areas without having to navigate to those business areas.

For example, you might want to search for folders that begin with the letter 'C', or search for items that contain the text 'Transaction'.
