In UML models, you can search for text, such as a specific
word or a group of letters.
Typically, you search for a specific model element
or group of model elements that share the same name or group of letters
in their name. You can also search for a specific word in the documentation
of a model element.
You can make your search more specific or
more general by specifying search conditions.
You must have
a model open in the Modeling perspective.
To find text in a model:
Click Edit > Find/Replace.
In the Find window, in the Find
what field, specify the text that you want to find.
In the Find in field, specify
the model or model element in which to search.
Optional: To specify search conditions,
complete the following steps:
To search only for complete words, select the Match
whole word only check box.
To search only for a model element in the model (that is,
to exclude diagram elements or relationships that appear in the
diagram editor), select the Do not search on diagrams check
box.
To perform a case-sensitive search, select the Match
case check box.
Optional: To specify a more detailed search
location, click Advanced and complete the
following steps:
To search in only model element and diagram element
names, under Fields, select the Name check
box.
To search in only the documentation of model elements and
diagram elements, under Fields, select the Documentation check
box.
To search in specific types of model elements, under Types,
select the check boxes for the appropriate model elements.
To search for a specific Object Constraint Language (OCL)
expression, in the Additional OCL Filter field, type
an OCL string.
Click OK. The
results appear in the Find and Replace view.
Note: To organize the results in the Find
and Replace view, you can rearrange the columns and sort the
results alphabetically. To navigate to the model element or diagram
element in the model, right-click a result.
