  1. Click the Search icon in the Metadata Browser window to display the Search window.

    Figure 3-15 The Metadata Search Window


    This illustration displays the Metadata Search Window. You can enter words to search for metadata objects and use the autocomplete feature to speed up the search.

  2. Enter the keyword for the search in the Search field. Autocomplete displays suggestions, which you can select by using the down arrow from the keyboard or by using the mouse. You can search for an object in the Measure, Dimension, and Hierarchy object types by adding "in:<Object Type>" to the keyword.
    For example, if you enter "Portfolio" in the Search field, it displays all objects that have the word "Portfolio" in their Name, Short Description, and Long Description. However, if you want to search for only Measure objects, enter Portfolio in:Measure. This narrows down the search to objects of the Measure type, as shown in the following illustration:
