Search in the Four Main Windows

All four main windows in MAXQDA have a magnifying glass icon in their toolbars. Clicking on this icon opens a search field. Below you can see the search field in the “Document Browser.”

Search in the “Document Browser”

MAXQDA begins searching as soon as you type the first character in the field. It carries out a classic search, meaning that it looks anywhere for that character combination, even if it’s not found at the beginning of a word. Searching for “sic” will bring up words like “musical” and “sick.”

MAXQDA also shows you how often that particular search string has been found.
