A Find Results folder is a folder that displays the results of a query. When the folder is opened, GroupWise examines the search criteria defined for the folder, searches for everything specified, and then displays everything it finds in the Item List. You can act on items in a Find Results folder the same way you act on items in any folder, such as opening, forwarding, printing, copying, moving, or deleting them. The original item remains stored in the folder where the search found it and is also acted on. This means that if you move or delete an item from a Find Results folder, the item is deleted from the Item List, and from the original location.
You can see the folder where each item originated if you open a Find Results folder and look at the columns of information displayed in the Item List. The Folder column lists where each item is actually stored.
You can create your own Find Results folders and define the search criteria you want, such as all items from a particular address or all items with a certain word in the Subject line. Or you might create a Find Results folder that displays all unread items.
