Determining where information should be filed and then being able to quickly retrieve that information again is the cornerstone of an effective Records Management system.

In order to achieve the most efficient method of Classifying and Retrieving information; the QUEST Records Management Software offers you two searching/retrieving utilities:

QFind - Is a global, full text search that uses Boolean logic to search for multiple words or phrases.

Use "Keywords" to describe the information within the Classification System or within each File . Then use the QFind Search function for a quick effective index searching tool.

Some of our clients find that creating and maintaining keywords enables them to instantaneously find the information again while others use only the QFind function to ensure a comprehensive global search each time. Yet other clients use both searches to achieve the most efficient Classification and retrieval system.

QFind

QFind allows you to enter words or phrases that describe the type of information you are trying to retrieve. It then searches all information in the QUEST system (not just keywords) to find a match to what you've entered.
