Searching the Repository for Object Definitions

---

You can use the repository search facility to search for object definitions based on text in their names (or other properties) and their object types. It is a quick way to locate one or more object definitions when you know all or part of their names or some other property.

NOTE:  This is a time-consuming task.

To display the Find In Repository window

Choose Tools > Search Repository.

The Search Repository dialog box appears.

User interface elements in the Find in Repository window:

Search Value text box. Enter the search string text to be located in the names and property values of object definitions.
Case Sensitive check box. Check if you want only those object definitions whose property values contain the search string with the same capitalization. Leave empty if matching capitalization is unnecessary.
Exact Match check box. Check if you want only those object definitions whose property values exactly match the entire search string.
Types to Search list box. Object type or types to search for. By default, all object types in this list are selected. You can choose a single object type to search by selecting it. CTRL-clicking and SHIFT-clicking can be used to select multiple object types. For better performance, search only the object type or types you need.
Select All button. Selects all the object types in the Types to Search list.
Clear All button. Deselects all the object types in the Types to Search list.
(Result Object Definitions) list table. Lists all the object definitions found in the search. Double-click on an item in this list to bring it up in the Object List Editor. Double-clicking on an item in the Result Objects List has the same effect as doing an Object List Editor query that searches on the name of the object definition.

To restore the Object List Editor window to list all object definitions of the type selected in the Object Explorer, do a query with the asterisk (*) symbol in the Name column of the Object List Editor.

Search Now button. Executes the search and lists the results in the (Result Object Definitions) list table.
Cancel button. Stops the search process if a search is executing. Closes the Search Repository dialog box in Repository window.

The Result Object Definitions list has these columns:

Type. Object type of the object definition returned by the search.
Name. Name of the object definition returned by the search.
Property. Name of the property of the object definition in which the search value was found.
Value. Value of the property of the object definition in which the search value was found.
