# Select a search location

You can use this dialog to configure which drives or folders should be searched. Even complex paths and URLs can be put together with just a few clicks.

All available search locations are listed on the left-hand side of the dialog. To the right, the directory to be searched in the currently selected search location can be specified and, in the case of cloud/remote targets, the access data for the connection can also be entered there. The currently selected path is displayed in the input field at the bottom of the dialog.

## Available search locations

You can select one of the supported search targetes on the left-hand side of the dialog to start configuring a more complex search location:

Suggested: Scan a list of recently used paths

Drives: Search a local drive or a network drive.

Directory: Search a specific directory.

SharePoint: Search SharePoint sites.

WebDav: Scan a target via the WebDav protocol.

## Specifying the path to be searched

The content displayed next to the search targets results from the selected type and allows you to specify a specific path and, if necessary, authentication data.

Drives & Directory | For these two search targets, the corresponding drive or directory can be selected in the list or in the directory tree.
SharePoint: Path | The subpath on the specified server (e.g. “sites/general” for SharePoint) can be entered in the path field in order to analyze only this path and other sub-paths of it.
SharePoint: Authentication type and fields dependent on this | Here you can specify how the connection to the SharePoint is to be established. You can choose between “User name”, “Certificate” and “Windows account”. User name: Authentication via user name and password. Certificate: Authentication via a saved certificate and a password. Windows account: Authentication via the Windows account currently in use (only possible with Entra ID set up as described here).
WebDav: Server name | The name of the WebDav server that is to be searched
WebDav Path (optional) | An optional subpath on the server
