Metalogix Content Matrix offers a number of tools to help you locate and organize data and in preparation for your migration. You can:
·Search for SharePoint sites, lists, folders, and/or items/documents that meet criteria you specify
·Compare SharePoint objects on source and target
This search feature allows you to do a search through the top-level node of a SharePoint connection for sites, lists, folders, and files. Filters can also be applied to the search criteria using the four main metadata fields (Created, Created By, Modified, Modified By) as well as content types. The search results can be sorted through, and you can view each returned item's properties. You can also run actions on returned items using the right-click menu.
This option is only available when Advanced Mode is enabled.
For SharePoint 2013, the Search function is only available when using a SharePoint Database connection. For SharePoint 2019, because the Database connection type is not formally supported, neither is the Search function. |
