searching for a document

D

dib

I'm just trying to understand InfoPath, bare with me.

If users create XML files with forms and they are saved in a folder or on a sharepoint server, how can they find a particular document based on some attributes of the document? I know how to search a database, but how do I query a collection of xml documents?

When using InfoPath with a SharePoint form library, you have the ability to
'promote' data from the document to appear as a column in the form library.

For example, if you had an XML file based on a template that had the
following data fields:
Name
Birthdate
Zip Code

You could have the values of those fields display as columns in the
SharePoint library. From there, you'll have the ability to export the
column data to another application, like Excel.
