Finding Nodes

You can search for nodes within any hierarchy in a selected version. Wildcard and exact match searches can be performed. You can optionally search for all instances of a node in the hierarchy by selecting to include implicitly shared nodes in the search. The implicit shared nodes find option is only available for searching within a single hierarchy, and not at the version level. Search results can be returned as a list of nodes or located in a hierarchy tree.

Orphan nodes are not included in these searches. You can use a global query to perform a search for all nodes within a version.

To find a node in a version:

1. From Browse, select a version.

2. Select the Find Nodes tab.

3. Click and then select how you want to search:

   • Find By––Search for a node by name or description.

   • Find In Domain––Search for a node in a specified domain.

     The search text is applicable to the Domain Node Name value only, not the Core.Abbev.

   Note:

   You can use the Find By and Find in Domain options together.

4. Enter text for which to search.

   Note:

   You can use the asterisk ( * ) as a wildcard character. You can also use the backslash ( \ ) as an escape character for exact match searches.

5. Click Go.
