What does the SharePoint Search Wizard Do?
The SharePoint Search Event Wizard is used to search in a SharePoint List or Library or search across a List or Library type, making use of defined search criteria set up in the wizard. The search results will be stored in a Content Field that can then be used in the following SharePoint Wizards:
- SharePoint List Items Wizard
- SharePoint Documents Wizard
- SharePoint Records Management Wizard
- SharePoint Publishing Wizard
- E-mail Event Wizard
Why use the SharePoint Search Event?
The SharePoint Search event wizard provides the ability to search for items in either a specific list or library, or across a specific list or library type. This is a very powerful and useful feature when building processes that need to perform actions on items in SharePoint that meet certain criteria. For example, all documents that have reached a certain status need to be moved to a different library, or all documents that meet specific criteria need to be moved to the Records Center so that a hold can be placed on those records.
