The Search Results List window displays all found items. For each item found, the results list displays:
Item full name – This includes the full path so that the user can find the item to open it manually.
Item type or class.
Item sub-type or part of main item in which the search string was found, for example, Name, Documentation, Logic.
Number of occurrences found for the element.
Line number in which the match was found, for each match. This applies only to Logic and similar text.
Line of text in which the match was found. This applies only to Logic and similar text. Only one match is shown per line.
The details listed are displayed for each part of the item. The items are displayed in a tree list, where the root of each tree is the found item. The parts of the item that matches are displayed as branches of the root.
If the system security setting determines that you do not have access to the item of the search, the list displays only the "Item full name" and "Number of occurrences found". Additionally, you are not be able to open the item for editing.
The title bar of the Search Result window indicates the status of the search. It shows the search term, whether the search is running or complete, and the total number of matches found.
The Search Results window is a toolbar window. It can be docked or positioned as required. A new window is used for each search that is made.
Note: If an item in the list is changed after the search has been completed so that it no longer matches the search criteria, the list does not automatically refresh to remove it.
When the search is complete, you can perform the following operations:
Refresh the list to rerun the search from the View, Refresh menu item.
Select an entry in the list and double-click it to open the item in its default editor. The editor displays the pane containing the match and, where appropriate, select the matched text.
