When using WPS Cloud Document Search, common questions usually focus on search scope, result sorting, available actions, and permission-based visibility; this FAQ includes 4 common questions and a glossary.
FAQ
Which cloud documents are included in the search scope?
- Cloud Document Search shows cloud documents that are visible to the current account.
- Documents without access permission do not appear in the results.
- If you need more results, confirm your sign-in status and the sharing permissions of the document.
What can I do with a document found in search?
- Click a document in the results list to open it directly.
- After opening it, you can continue with actions available on that page, such as forwarding, starring, or copying a link.
- If an action is not shown, follow the current document permissions and the buttons available in the interface.
How are search results sorted?
- Cloud document search results are sorted by relevance by default.
- More accurate title keywords usually help the target document appear closer to the top.
- If there are many results, use filters to narrow the list further.
Why can’t I find a specific cloud document?
- Make sure you are on the Cloud Documents tab.
- Check whether you entered title keywords for the document.
- Confirm that your network connection is working and that your account has access to the document.
- If the document still does not appear, try different keywords or use filters to narrow the scope.
