In this tab, you enter your search criteria.
- Search string
- Enter the character string that you want to search for. This string
represents the whole or partial name of the element that the search
is run on. This element is selected in the Limit to field.
You can use the following wildcard 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 that is entered in the Search string field.
- Search for
- Select the entities that you want to search for.
- Limit to
- You indicate where the string that is entered in the Search
string field is searched for. You can select only one
item:
- The instance name
- The project where the instances are searched for
- The package where the instances are searched for
- The keywords that are entered in the instance Keywords tab
- The keywords that are entered in the instance Keywords tab,
and their synonyms that are specified in the thesaurus. If you select
this item, you must enter the entire search string and select a location
(because a thesaurus is defined at the location level).
- The instance label
- Location scope
- You can search in all the locations of your workspace or limit
the search to only one location. You must open the locations to search
for the instances that they contain.
- Diagram scope
- The
diagram represents the hierarchy of the projects that are contained
in the location. It is defined in the design build path wizard. You
open this wizard by right-clicking a location in the Design
Explorer view and selecting Properties.
The notions of application domain and level (position in the diagram)
are associated with each project. You can limit the search scope to
some Domain and Level values
that exist in the build path.
A domain groups
the projects according to application criteria. You can indicate one
or more existing domains.
In a tree organization, the level implicitly
corresponds to the position of a project in the tree. The root node
has a level 0. The child nodes of the root have a level 1. The final
leaves of the tree have the highest levels.
In a layer organization,
the level is associated with each layer. The
layer that groups the projects that are required by all the other
projects has a level 0. The layer that groups the projects that are
not required by any other project has the highest level.
You
can enter here a level in the input field and select a position in
relation to this level (>, >=, =, <,
or <=).
