Searching the Meta Catalog

Searching the Meta Catalog
1. Choose Search to open the Search view.
2. Select the Meta Catalog Search tab.
3. Select the projects whose contents you want to search from the Projects to search list.
4. Select the catalogs whose contents you want to search from the Catalogs to search list.
5. Define your search in the Search criteria browse. You can define the search in the following ways:
a. Select a previously created query in the Query criteria combo-box. You can alter the saved criteria before running the search.
b. Create a new query by selecting entries from the combo-boxes that make up the Query criteria browse.
6. Choose Search. The search results appear in a treeview.
If there is a name in the Query criteria combo-box, a prompt appears asking if you want to save the current criteria under that name.
7. Double-click an item in the search results. The file opens in the Editor view positioned at the line containing the item.
If the same file's contents have been loaded into two catalogs, the search results show duplicate entries for that data.
