This view displays the results of the instance search requested
from the Design Search wizard (which you open
with the
button in the toolbar or the Search menu).
The search bore on one or more open locations of the Design
explorer view.
The title of the Design Search view
shows the character string entered in the search request, and the
number of instances which match the search criteria.
The view
lists the instances found. They are grouped by entities, in the same
way as in the Design explorer view.
You
can modify their display. To do so, click the white upside-down triangle
icon of the view toolbar and select:
- Top Level Elements to indicate which element
type will constitute the top of the hierarchy in the tree: folders
(default. These are represented by the entity types), packages or
projects.
- Sort to specify a new sort criterion: by
name, package or project.
- Display to display additional information
on each instance line in the tree: package, project and/or label.
You can combine the three choices. If you want to remove one of the
selected information from the line, just select it again in the menu.
This new setting will then automatically be saved and associated
with the
Design Search' view, until you change
it again.
If you right-click on an instance in the list, you
can:
- Open its editor.
- Search for its super or sub references,
which will then be displayed in the References view.
- Go to the next match, i.e. highlight the
next instance in the list (also available via the
button in the view toolbar),
- Go to the previous match, i.e. highlight
the previous instance in the list (also available via the
button in the view toolbar),
- Remove the selected matches, i.e. remove
all the selected instances from the Design Search view
(also available via the
button
in the view toolbar),
- Remove all matches, i.e. remove all search
result from the Design Search view (also available
via the
button in the view toolbar),
