Searching for a string

Use Find to search for a character string within the structure titles of an IMG.

  1. Choose Find in node texts in an IMG.
  2. Enter the character string to be found.

    3. You can enter only the first letters of the string. You do not need to enter wildcards (*). In addition, if you do this, you may get wrong results.

  3. Choose Continue.

If only one occurrence of the string is found, the structure title found is highlighted in the IMG. If there are several occurrences of the string, they are displayed in a hit list.

Displaying the Hit List

During the search process, the system generates a hit list that is not discarded before you log off the system. The hit list is user-specific.

  1. To display this hit list, choose Find in node texts.
  2. The system displays the Search node titles dialog box.
  3. Choose Display last hit list.

This pushbutton is displayed only if you have run a search before and the system has generated a hit list.

The system displays another window that lists all terms found in the last search run.

Find Next

To continue searching, choose Find next. The system uses the last hit list generated to find the next occurrence of the string.

Creating a Text Index

To accelerate the search, you can generate a text index. The creation date of the index tells you if a text index has been created before. If the date field is empty, no index has been created before.

To create a text index:

  1. Choose Find in node texts.
  2. The system displays the Search node titles dialog box.
  3. Choose Refresh search text index.

When a message tells you that the text index was successfully refreshed, the index has been generated. Creation date and time are entered in the section Text index info.
