Searching the Portal Catalog 

Use

The search tool allows you to quickly locate a variety of portal objects in the Portal Catalog. Using search criteria that you specify, the search engine queries the following properties in objects and folders:

●      Object name

●      Object ID

●      Description

●      Object type

The search area is located at the top of the Portal Catalog. Two levels of search are available; basic and advanced. Basic search allows you to search all object types in the entire portal catalog. Advanced search allows you to refine the search to specific object types and Portal Catalog folders.

Procedure

       1.      In the search area in the Portal Catalog, in the Find field, enter the keywords for which to search and click Go.

■       You can use wildcards in your search query.

■       Search is case-sensitive.

The search results are displayed in the content area. You only receive objects for which you have at least administrator read permission.

       2.      To determine where an object is located in the Portal Catalog, select the object in the search results table, and click Locate in Portal Catalog.

       3.      To open the object in its respective primary editor, select the object in the search results table, and click Open.

A new search tab opens in the content area for each search that you perform from the Portal Catalog search area. You can also continue to search from the open search tab, in which case the results are displayed in place.

Advanced Search

To define additional search criteria, click Advanced. In the advanced search you can:

●      Limit the search to the object name, object ID, or description. Select the appropriate checkboxes located below the Search for field.

●      Limit the search to a specific top-level folder in the Portal Catalog. From the Search In dropdown list, select a folder in which you want to search. To limit the search to a lower-level folder, right-click the folder in the Portal Catalog and choose Search in Folder. The Advanced search interface opens in the content area.

●      Limit the search to a specific object type. From the Object Type dropdown list, select an object type.

●      Limit the amount of time that the search is performed. From the Timeout (seconds) dropdown list, specify the time period after which you want the search to time out. After the search times out, any results that have been retrieved are displayed.

●      Specify whether the search is case sensitive. Select or clear the Case Sensitive checkbox.
