Here you enter the criteria of the search which is directly
performed on the server.
- Search string
- Enter the character string 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 entered here.
- Search for
- Select the entities 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 entered in the instance Keywords tab,
- The keywords entered in the instance Keywords tab,
and their synonyms specified in the thesaurus. This item is operational
only if your search is not local but on the Rational Team Concert
server. You must start the search from the RTC
Design Search tab. 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, which displays
all the locally created 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 contained in this location on
the server.
- 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 created
in the Rational Team Concert™ Server to integrate the work done in workspaces.
