The Search tab is added to the navigator automatically after you set the primary server in the Server Management window.
To open Search, click . You have the following search options:
Search - Search the Windchill database for objects by specifying a keyword or attribute.
Advanced search - Search the Windchill database or a specific Windchill cabinet by building queries and adapting logic.
Full Search - Access the search utility provided by your Windchill solution.
Consider the following rules for using search:
The search utility searches only the primary Windchill server.
Entries for searching in the Windchill database are case-sensitive.
You can use wildcards (asterisks) when specifying file names and properties requiring a string value.
The search results appear in the Search Results table at the bottom of the Search navigator. The Search Results table displays the Name, Revision, State and Context of each object that matches the search criteria. Clicking the object name in the Search Results table opens the Information page for that object.
