Hi all,
It is possible to search all drives and directories on your BN.
The following instructions should be followed EXACTLY:
1. Navigate to the Utilities menu and select "application
program".
2. At the "drive?" prompt, press K (for Keysoft system disk".
3. Select the Windows directory (press enter on Windows and press
enter again to select the subdirectory).
4. You see "command line?". Type the text in quotes, but without
the quotes: "/k dir /s filename.ext > search.txt"". Replace
"filename.ext" with the filename you want to find (such as
"mydoc.kwb").
5. Now open Keyword. Select the keysoft system disk, then the
none folder. Navigate to "search.txt" (which can be any filename
you wanted, as long as it is a text file) and open it. You will
see a new line followed by "directory of" then a directory name
of a file. If the file is the one you wanted, follow that path
(memorize it and open it in keyword like normal). If not keep
looking through the results of your search.
NOTES:
1. To find part of a filename or files of any type, use a *. For
example:
A. You want to find all ASCII text files: /k dir /s *.txt >
search.txt
B. You want to find a file, and you know part of the filename is
"science". Use: /k dir /s *science*.ext
C. You know the file starts with science /k dir /s science*.ext
D. You know the file's name ends with science /k dir /s
*science.ext
2. If anything has spaces (your search string or output file) use
quotes around the name. file.ext is fine, but file two.ext is
not; use "file two.ext".
3. If you have questions or run into problems, email me at

HTH.
Have a great day,
Alex
