   * **Blue Box:** Specify the path to search. The default value is ''/rug/home/''. You can change it manually or by performing a sub-search. You can also select predefined values, such as "My home" or "All".
-  * **Red Box:** Configure additional search options. For example, you can choose whether to search for files or folders, restrict results to a specific creation period, or enable case-sensitive matching. If this menu is hidden, click the {{:rdms:webapp:search_reveal_button.png?direct&20|}} button. By default, an object must meet all specified criteria to appear in the results. The logical operator is ''AND'', as shown on the left side of the box. To find objects that meet any of the specified criteria, change the relevant operator to ''OR''.

For example, a search for ''time'' also finds ''timecapsule'' and ''walltime''. ''Exact match'' returns only results that contain the exact search term. ''Right truncated (<word>%)'' matches values that start with the search term. ''Left truncated (%<word>)'' matches values that end with the search term.

 **Note:** The ''%'' sign is the RDMS wildcard for any number of characters. Its position affects the results. For example, ''%cube'' finds both ''cube'' and values ending in ''cube'', regardless of the preceding characters.
