# Searching for Data

Once documents are uploaded to Aerofiler, you will typically want to capture key metadata such as counterparty, title, start date and governing law. This example steps through a workflow for capturing governing law in your repository. You can begin with a keyword search of the documents that you just uploaded:

<figure><img src="/files/kj4r66qyAlp2n9FLdJkw" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

This will return a screen showing the highlighted search term, along with the surrounding text:

Often, the extracted text will be enough to find the data you need. If you need to view the full contract, you can click on “Show Preview”:
