Displaying and using the results of a search

To start a search, begin typing your search text into the search box. As you type, Studio displays 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, project refinements (tags), and keyword search.


Search results panels for a search from the Catalog.

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:

Attributes Included in searches from a data set or within a project.

A list of attributes whose names match the entered search terms. Next to each attribute is the name of the attribute group that it belongs to.

Attributes are grouped by data set.
