To start a search, begin typing your search text into the search box. As you type, Big Data Discovery displays the matching search results.
The search results are divided into panels to reflect the different types of results.
For searches from the Catalog, the results are also divided into results from data sets, projects, keyword search, and project refinements.
For other searches, there is a single set of panels.
Each section contains a different type of search result. Each type of result has an associated action you can perform from that result. The possible search results include:
