Q. What files are shown in search results?

All shared files with proper settings are shown in search results.

Q. Why can’t you find the files in search results?

Our system does not include files into the search service results if their names include certain words which might indicate illegal use of Apostolictoolbox. Our automatic filter prevents some files from being displayed in search service results even if the files are not illegal at all. Most probably the file(s) name(s) include words which are forbidden with our service since many files which have these words in their name break our Terms & Condition or were reported as copyright infringements.

If the download link doesn't appear it can mean that your browser does not allow javascript execution. Secondly your firewall may not allow files to be downloaded from certain web sites or even cancels all incoming files, so please check your firewall settings.
