Explore the user interface: search for method content

The goal of this exercise is to use the search function to locate method content.

1. Switch to Authoring perspective.

 

2. You can invoke Search by doing either of the following:

 

• Clicking on the search icon in the toolbar.
• Using the Search menu and selecting Search....

 

3. Click on the Method Search tab. Enter Architecture in the text box and click on Search. It will take a few seconds to find all occurances. Results will be displayed in a new panel labeled Search.

 

4. Expand the search results and double-click on an element. The editor for the selected item is opened. If you have Link with Editor selected in the library view, the library view display changes to show you where the selected item is in the library.

 

5. Open the search dialog again and repeat the same search but this time reduce the scope to just look for tasks. Uncheck all the other content types in the scope panel. The search should be quicker and result in fewer hits.

 

6. Open the search dialog again and repeat the same search but this time add arch* as a file name pattern. Make sure the scope is still set to tasks. The search should be even quicker and result in even fewer hits.

 

7. Experiment with other method searches.
