Smart Search

With x360Cloud’s SmartSearch tool, you can quickly perform full-text search operations across all user accounts and connected services to find one or more objects. 

You can even search historical snapshots and version history.  

When you find what you’re looking for, you can view documents and emails directly within the x360Cloud browser, without needing to download content or navigate away from the system. Objects can be backed up directly from OneDrive, SharePoint, GDrive, or as email or calendar event attachments.

Search Best Practices 

As a best practice, please consider the following when using x360Cloud's SmartSearch tool:

  • x360Cloud defines data as objects. 
  • Objects include emails, contacts, calendars, calendar events, files, documents, and similar data.
  • Searching in x360Cloud is not case sensitive
  • For fast and reliable searches, enter specific search criteria. This is especially helpful when trying to find text-heavy objects, like emails or documents.
