  <!-- TODO: possibly have in gnome-user-docs instead. -->
  <title>Add custom directories</title>

  <p><app>Documents</app> normally shows only documents that are in standard
  folders such as <file>Documents</file> or <file>Downloads</file>. You can add
  extra folders that you want to use from the <app>Search</app> preference
  panel. You may want to do this if you keep some of your documents in a
  non-standard location such as another folder on your computer or on an
  external hard disk.</p>

  <steps>
    <item>
      <p>Open the
      <gui href="help:gnome-help/shell-terminology">Activities</gui> overview
      and start typing <gui>Search</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Click on <gui>Search</gui> to open the panel.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Press the button in the bottom-right of the window which will open
      <gui>Search Locations</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Press <gui style="button">+</gui> to add a new search location.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Select the folder that you want to add and press
      <gui style="button">OK</gui> to add the folder.</p>
    </item>
  </steps>
  <p>Adding a new folder to the search may let some of your other applications
  search that folder. Unfortunately, it is not possible to tell which
  applications will be affected without testing them.</p>
