Search Results

Metadata Manager displays the results of a search and the number of objects found in the Search Results panel. Click an object name to view the object in the metadata catalog or business glossary. You can resize, minimize, and restore the Search Results panel.
Metadata Manager displays search results based on the priority assigned in the searchpriorities.xml file. Administrators can use this file to configure the priorities of saved searches and other entities in the search results. For more information about the searchpriorities.xml file, see the
Metadata Manager Administrator Guide
.
Metadata Manager displays the object name, class, and location for objects that appears in the search results. If you searched the audit trail, Metadata Manager appends "audit trail" to the names of objects that have historical attribute values that match the search criteria. Click an object name to view it in the metadata catalog or business glossary. You can also right-click an object in the search results to complete additional tasks on the object.
The following table describes the commands and the tasks that you can perform on metadata and business glossary objects:
Command
Task
Run Lineage
View data lineage analysis on an object.
Show in Catalog
Show in Glossary
Find a metadata object in the metadata catalog hierarchy or find a category or business term in the business glossary. Use this option to avoid browsing for a particular object in the catalog or business glossary.
Add to Shortcuts
Add a shortcut to a folder in the Shortcuts view for the object.
Edit properties
Edit properties for a custom metadata object or metadata object for which you added a custom attribute.
Delete
Delete custom metadata objects.
Metadata Manager displays an error if a search query returns more than 1,024 results. Use more specific search criteria to limit the number of search results returned.
