Working with search results

Deteyo search results are organized in tabs associated with each search configuration. When running a new search, the previous search results are automatically stored in a separate tab. Right clicking on the tab allows you to either Delete the search results or Update search. Update search executes the original search term again using the same settings. This is useful if you have moved or added files and want to quickly get the latest results
