How to find a document, deletion stub or a corrupted document by its NoteID or UNID

Select any Notes database (email, personal address book, applications etc.) on your workspace, open scanEZ from the Notes client toolbar.

If you know the document's UNID, in scanEZ go to Search > Search by UNID (F6), enter the UNID, and click the Search button.

If you know the document's NoteID, in scanEZ go to Search >Search by NoteID (F7), enter the NoteID, and click the Search button.

Another search is the Search by NoteID Range, which can search through a specified NoteID range for you. This is particularly useful when you are looking for a corrupted document somewhere in a database. The "Search by NoteID Range" can help you find the problem document. How? If the "Search by NoteID Range" runs into the corrupted document during its search, it will pop-up a message and tell you which document it is.

Hints on how to use the Search by NoteID Range feature:
The number of documents in a database can help you estimate the range you will need to search through. Choose an appropriate upper NoteID range (say at least four times the number of documents in the database). Keep in mind, that any creation/deletions will increase the NoteID value even higher.

A search range from h1 to hFFFF will search through roughly 64,000 documents. An upper range search (h1 to hFFFFF) will go through about a million documents quite quickly. You can always adjust the range as necessary, but searching through a billion documents is probably too high and will definitely take some time.
