You can search for the design files that are stored on the Rational Team Concert™ server, even if they do not exist in your workspace. You can use the search results to populate your local workspace.
The design search is limited to the design files. It does not find the files that are generated from these design files.
The search runs in an asynchronous mode. You can then keep on working while it runs in the background. You cannot start a new search if the previous search is not complete.
When the search is complete, your focus automatically switches to the Server Design Search view, where the results of the search are displayed.
