This isn't google. Type a string into the filter box and click the FILTER button to turn it on.
Click the FILTER button again to turn it off. If there's a lot of files in the selected donor / folder such as in silicatewastes / blanco then it will take a moment to turn off as it reloads everything in silicatewastes / blanco.
If you have the FILTER button on while you're viewing a sink and you want to get back to the main screen without turning the FILTER off, click the www.silicatewastes.com logo at the top of the screen.
The www.silicatewastes.com logo takes you to the main screen but it always leaves the FILTER and BLANCO buttons on. If you click FILTER or BLANCO while they are on they will turn off.
Always use short fragments like "KHU" or "2210". Try looking for the Norrisjon 503.248.94. You don't know what whoever uploaded it named it. If you enter '50324894' you won't find anything.
There is no file in the entire system that contains the string '50324894'. You don't know if whoever uploaded it named it '503.248.94', '503-248-94', '503 248 94', etc. It's usually a bad idea to use spaces, too. Searching for '248 94' does not search for both strings. It searches for that exact six character string with the space between the 8 and the 9. Again, this finds nothing.
Because you don't know how they named the file your best bet is to search for a fragment like '248'. This filters out every filename that does not contain the string '248'. Since we were currently in silicatewastes / blanco it filtered out all files except for the two that contain '248'.
Click on the donor drop down menu. It filered out all the donor folders that don't contain a file with '248' anywhere.
Click on the subfolder dropdown. silicatewastes has over 250 subfolders. They're all filtered out except for the four folders that have a file somewhere with the string '248' in the filename.
Try the Norrsion folder. Probably whoever named it meant 'Norrisjon'. There it is. Someone named it '503-248-94.dxf'
There's one in the Ikea folder too. Here they named it '503.248.94'
Good luck. If you can't find what you're looking for consider drawing it and uploading it for the next guy who needs it. www.silicatewastes.com
