Your role as a search designer is to create, edit, and save pre-defined searches: stored searches and search templates. These searches provide one way for users to look for many kinds of documents. You can create a complete search (stored search) or a partially completed search (search template). When necessary, this documentation discriminates between the two kinds of searches. Otherwise, the term "search" refers to both kinds of searches.
You can browse to locate searches and identify them by their specific icons. Double-clicking on the search name runs the search and displays the results just like clicking on a folder name displays its documents.
In Workplace XT, an All Searches folder appears under each object store. The All Searches folder provides a convenient way for viewing and using predefined searches to which you have access.
Depending on how the searches were created, users can supply values or use the defaults you provided, before executing the search.
The Java™ Runtime Environment (JRE) is required to use Search Designer. Search Designer requires the correct JRE version be installed on your local computer or be downloaded to your local computer when it is not installed. Also, if you are using Search Designer in an SSL environment, your local computer must have a security certificate installed or be downloaded to your local computer.
When using Search Designer, you must increase the memory available to JRE. See Increase JRE memory for instructions.
For more information on confirming the JRE version, downloading the JRE, and downloading a security certificate, refer to Use Java Applets.
