Windchill Search Administration
Windchill provides two search capabilities:
Basic database searches. All Windchill customers have access to this search capability.
Windchill Index Search. Indexed searches allow users to search for keywords within the metadata and content of Windchill database objects. The oversight of a system administrator is required to maintain the efficiency and usefulness of the search system as it changes over time.
For more information about how Windchill Index Search fits within the Windchill architecture, see Windchill Runtime Architectural Overview.
