Model Repository Search
You can search for objects and object properties in the Model repository.
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 Search 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. |
The Model repository search returns ports and dynamic ports but does not return generated ports.
Note: When you search for a mapping, mapplets with a name that is similar to the search pattern appear in the search results.
The Model Repository Service uses a search engine to index the metadata in the Model repository. 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 Model repository objects. You must save an object before you can search on it.
You can search in different languages. To search in a different language, an administrator must change the search analyzer and configure the Model repository to use the search analyzer.
Note: When you refresh Model repository, the search results in Search view will no longer appear. User has to perform search again to get the results on refreshed Model repository.
