Search using the value of an object-valued property
You can search and find objects if you know the Object ID of one of its object-valued property values.
For example, the following procedure shows how to find documents that
have been assigned to a particular security policy by using the Object ID of
the security policy as the search criteria.
To search for an object using the value of one of its
object-valued properties
- Use Copy Object
Reference to copy the Object Instance Identifier (OIID) value of the Security Policy.
- Open the Query Builder by right-clicking Search Results and
selecting New Search.
- Select Simple View as the query View selection.
- Select the "Document" from the Select From Table
drop-down list.
- Select "Security Policy" from the Column drop-down
list.
- Select "Equal to" from the Condition drop-down list:
- Click the ellipsis button in the Value column. This opens the Select
Object from Paste Buffer dialog box shown below, where the OIID value of
the object can be selected.

- Select the object name and click OK. Enterprise Manager converts the selected OIID value to the Object ID value and pastes it in the Value field of the Query Builder dialog box.
- Click OK to run the search. Any
documents assigned to the security policy named "SP1" will
appear under Search Results.
