Searching for instances ('Design Search' tab)

You can search for instances already present in the 'Design explorer' view, in all the locations or only a specific one.

To search for instances, you must:
  1. Open the'Design explorer' view of the 'Design' perspective. One or more location must already exist in the view.
  2. Click the search icon. In the 'Search' window which opens up, you automatically switch to the 'Design search' tab. You must then fill in this tab with your search criteria:
    • Search string: Enter the character string you want to search for. You can use the following wild card characters:
      • An asterisk matches one or more characters of any value.
      • A question mark matches a single character of any value.
    • Case sensitive: Check this box if the character string to search for is to match the case entered here.
    • Search for: Check the entities you want to search for.
    • Limit to: If you want to limit the search to the instance name, or to the keywords entered on the instance, or the instance label, check the corresponding boxes. You can combine these criteria.
    • Scope You can search all the opened locations or limit the search to only one location. To specify one location, check the Opened location radio button and click the down arrow to display all the available locations and select one.
  3. Click Search to start searching.
You automatically switch to the 'Search' view, located in the right-hand bottom part of the workbench, where the result of the search is displayed.
