Search for a document or item by using its barcode or label

If you are working with a printed copy of a server document that has a barcode or label, you can use the barcode or label information to search for the original version of that document on a Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 site. This is helpful if you are not sure whether the copy of the document you have is the most recent version of the document.

  1. In the Search box at the top of the page, type the label text or the barcode number for the document you want to locate.
  2. Click Go Search.
  3. Locate the document or item you want in the search results list.

     Note    If you have just uploaded a document, its barcode or label may not be searchable until it is indexed by search.
