The following URL samples show you how to use WebDocs URL searching from other applications. By using URL searching, you can seamlessly integrate other applications with WebDocs with little or no coding, simply launching the appropriate URL.

Note: You must log in to WebDocs before running any URL searches, or you will receive an error.

Use the following syntax for search URLs:

Begin with your WebDocs URL.

For example:

Use the following URL keywords, separating keywords with an ampersand (&):
- To run the search (always include): action=search
