Searching for an Object or Folder

You can search for an object or folder.

To search for an object or folder:

  1. Select the hierarchy in which you want to search.
  2. In the navigation pane, click the Search tab.
  3. In the search field, type the string for which you want to search (not case sensitive). The search field allows you to use two types of wildcards in the search string, a question mark (?) and an asterisk character (*). You can use a question mark (?) to substitute for any single character, and you can use an asterisk (*) to substitute for any number of characters.
  4. Click Search. The results of the search are displayed in the list area. The results lists all objects or folders that begin with the requested string first, followed by any object or folder that contains the string. By default the number of retrieved objects is limited to 1000, so you may need to refine your search.

    Note: When searching Categories, the search looks for the specified string in both the Name field and the Identifier field. However, the search does not find categories by their identifier in windows that do not display the identifier, i.e., Categories tree.

  5. To locate the home folder of one of the objects in the list area, select the object, and from the toolbar, click . The object's home folder is highlighted in the navigation pane.
