You must enter the criteria of the search that is directly
performed on the server.
- Search string
- Enter the character string that you want to search for. This string
represents the whole or partial name of the element on which the search
is performed; this element is selected in the Limit to field.
You can use the following wildcard
characters:
- An asterisk matches one or more characters of any value.
- A question mark matches a single character of any value.
- Case sensitive
- Check this box if the character string to search for is to match
the case that is entered here.
- Search for
- Select the entities that you want to search for. You can select
more than one.
- Limit to
- You indicate where the string entered in the Search
string field is searched for. You can select only one
item:
- The instance name
- The project in which the instances are searched for
- The package in which the instances are searched for
- The keywords that are entered in the instance Keywords tab
- The keywords that are entered in the instance Keywords tab,
and their synonyms that are specified in the thesaurus. If you select
this item, you must enter the entire search string and select a location
(because a thesaurus is defined at the location level).
- The instance label
- Location Scope
- You can limit the search to one location only. To do so, select
the Location radio button. A list that displays
all the local locations becomes available.
If the location in which
you want to search for instances does not locally exist, you enter
its name (as on the server) in the input field. The search is then
carried out on the instances that are present in this location on
the server.
- Diagram scope
- The diagram represents the hierarchy of the projects that are
contained in the location. It is defined in the design build path
wizard. You open this wizard by right-clicking a location in the Design
Explorer view and selecting Properties.
The notions of application domain and level (position in the diagram)
are associated with each project. You can limit the search scope to
some Domain and Level values
that exist in the build path.
A domain groups
the projects according to application criteria. You can indicate here
one or more existing domains.
In a tree organization, the level implicitly
corresponds to the position of a project in the tree. The root node
has a level 0. The children nodes of the root have a level 1. The
final leaves of the tree have the highest levels.
In
a layer organization, the level is associated
with each layer. The layer that groups the projects that are required
by all the other projects has a level 0. The layer that groups the projects
that are not required by any other project has the highest level.
You
can enter here a level in the input field and select a position in
relation to this level (>, >=, =, <,
or <=).
- Server scope
- You can select a stream to limit the search scope.
A stream
is the equivalent of a work session. It is a repository object that
is created in the Rational Team Concert™ server to integrate the work that is done in workspaces.
