You can create a search query and then filter the search results. You can view search results and select an object from the results to view its contents. Search results appear on the

Search

view. The search cannot display results if it finds more than 2048 objects. If search fails because the results contain more than 2048 objects, change the search options so that fewer objects match the search criteria.

The following table lists the search options that you can use to search for objects:

The Model repository search returns ports and dynamic ports but does not return generated ports.

The Model Repository Service uses a search engine to index the metadata in the Model repository. To correctly index the metadata, the search engine uses a search analyzer appropriate for the language of the metadata that you are indexing. The Developer tool uses the search engine to perform searches on Model repository objects. You must save an object before you can search on it.

You can search in different languages. To search in a different language, an administrator must change the search analyzer and configure the Model repository to use the search analyzer.
