With Digital Tiger you can search both your paper documents and other physical items in Paper Tiger and your digital files in Google Docs in one step. To present the information, we have divided the search results into three categories.

Red Box - Unconverted files in Google Docs (File name searchable, but content is not searchable)

Because Google Docs can be used as a storage location, it allows you to upload and save any file type you choose. Google, however, cannot search the content of any file type that is either not in Google Docs format file, a digitized/OCR'd PDF, or a Microsoft Office File. The ability to search the content of files has been further limited in the API, which is what we use to connect your Digital Tiger account to Google Docs. Through the API, we can only search files in Google Docs format or digitized/OCR'd PDF's.

You will see on the search results page, a note in the top blue section that "Files found that are NOT in Google Docs Format (non-searchable) Show [+] ", and when you select the + to show, a red box will appear. You can click the + in the red box then to show the list of unconverted files.

Green Box - Converted files (File name and content is fully searchable)

The green box display results for files which are fully searchable. Which means Digital Tiger searches content and file name. Files with searchable content through the API include files in Google Docs file format and digitized PDF's

Blue Box - Paper Tiger results (Physical files within the database)

This is where your Paper Tiger results are displayed.
