The Specify Search Parameters dialog is used to search for content items on the content server that meet specific criteria. This page is essentially the standard Oracle WebCenter Content Server search form. It provides a number of fields as well as a Search button to perform the search query based on the specified criteria.
If any profiles are defined on the content server, you can select the profile that should be applied to the search form. Content profiles are used to limit the metadata fields shown on the search form (and also several other content server pages), depending on the type of content. For example, a "Sales" profile might show metadata fields for revenue numbers, sales forecasts, and the like, whereas a "Support" profile might show metadata fields for case number, status, and the like.
Note:
Profiles are available only if you are connecting to Oracle WebCenter Content Server 12c R2 or Oracle Content Server 11g R1. They are not available for Oracle Content Server 10g R3. Contact your content server administrator if you need any assistance.
Depending on the content server configuration, you may be able to perform searches based on metadata (that is, information about files), full text (that is, text contained in the actual files), or a combination of both. For more details on searching for content items on the content server, see the Oracle WebCenter Content Server documentation.
Specify the search criteria and click Search to perform the query. A list of all content items that meet the specified criteria is available under Search Results for the current content server in Windows Explorer. Open that folder to view the search results in the content pane.
