Pacbase local search

The Local search view displays the results of a search of instances imported in a specific connection repository or in all your opened connections.

The instance search was made from the Pacbase Local Search window on the Pacbase perspective, accessible via the search icon or Search menu in the perspective's toolbar.

In the title bar of the Pacbase Local search view, you find as a result of a search, the character string entered in the search request, and the number of instances matching the search criteria.

The view lists the instances found. They are grouped by entities.

You can modify the way they are displayed in the Search view. To do so, click the white downward arrow of the view toolbar and select:
  • Sort to specify a new sort criterion: by name or by library.
  • Display to show the Library name and/or the instance Label.
  • Filter to apply or not a filter to the list. If you select Filter > On, only the entities that are not excluded by the filter selected in the Library Manager will be displayed. If you choose Off, then no filter will be applied to the list.
This new setting will then automatically be saved and associated with the Search view, until you change it again.
If you select an instance in the list and right-click, you find the following choices:
  • Open to open an entity in the PDP editor.
  • references to search for sub-references or super-references for the selected instance which will then be displayed in the References view.
  • next match to navigate to the next instance in the list that match the search request (also available via the next match icon in the view toolbar),
  • previous match to navigate to the previous instance in the list that match the search request (also available via the previous match icon in the view toolbar),
  • Remove the selected matches, i.e. remove all selected instances from the Search view (also available via theRemove selected matches icon in the view toolbar),
  • Remove all matches, i.e. remove all search result from the Search view (also available via theRemove all matches icon in the view toolbar),
  • Fetch from Repository to import instances from the Repository that match the search request.
You can also perform the following actions from the toolbar only:
  • Run the current search again (Run the current search again icon). This command reruns the current search again, so that removed search results reappear or changes are reflected.
  • Cancel current search (Cancel current search icon).
  • Show previous searches (Show previous searches icon). Click on the arrow next to the icon to display the previous searches (10 maximum but you can change this size via the History window, see details just after).
    • If you select a previous search, its result will be displayed in the view.
    • If you select the History choice, you open a window that shows the 10 previous searches. You can select a previous search result, click Open to see the list of instances resulting from this search. You can also remove uninteresting matches from the search results history, you can do that by selecting any search result and click the Remove button. It may be useful too to increase the number of search results displayed in the history, to do so, click Configure > Configure the search history size and modify the number of search results in the input field.
    • If you select Clear History, all the previous searches will be removed from the history.
  • Expand all (Expand all icon). This command expands every tree item in the search view
  • Collapse all (Collapse all icon) This command collapses every tree item in the search view
