explorer' view, in all the locations or only a specific one.

One or more location must already exist in the view.
- Click the
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.
- 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.
