Domain Search

You can search for objects and object properties in a domain.

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

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:

Search Option	Description
Containing text	Object or property that you want to search for. Enter an exact string or use a wildcard. Not case sensitive.
Names	One or more objects that contain the name. Enter an exact string or use a wildcard. Not case sensitive.
Tags	One or more objects that use a tag. Enter an exact string or use a wildcard. Not case sensitive.
Search for	One or more object types to search for.
Scope	Search the workspace or an object that you selected.

A search engine indexes the metadata in the domain. 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 design-time and run-time objects.

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

Model repository that stores the design-time objects.

Model repository that is associated with the Data Integration Service where the run-time objects are deployed.

To search for an object or an object property, you must have connected to the object in the

Object Explorer

view. To expand the search to additional objects, connect to the Model repository or to the run-time application that contains the objects.

Guidelines for Searches

Refer to the following guidelines when you search a domain:

You must save a design-time object before you can search on it.

A search returns ports and dynamic ports but does not return generated ports.

When you search for a mapping, mapplets with a name that is similar to the search pattern appear in the search results.

When you refresh a Model Repository Service or a run-time application, the search results in Search view no longer appear. You must search the domain again to get results based on the refreshed Model Repository Service or the refreshed run-time application.
