The goal of this exercise is to use the search function to locate
method content.
- Switch to the Authoring perspective if it
is not already selected.
- Begin the search by doing either of the following:
- Click the Search icon
in the toolbar.
- Click the Search menu in the main tool bar
and select Search.
- Click the Method Search tab. Enter "architecture"
in the text box and click Search. It will
take a few seconds to find all occurrences. Results will be displayed in a
new panel labeled Search.
- Expand the search results and double-click an element. The editor
for the selected item is opened. If you have Link with Editor
selected
in the library view, the display will update to show you where the selected
item is located in the library. If the Link with Editor is
not selected, you can right-click an element in the Search view and select Show
In > Library.
- Open the Search window again and repeat the same search but this
time reduce the scope to just look for Task elements. Clear all the other
content types in the scope panel. This time the search should be quicker and
result in fewer hits.
- Open the Search window again and repeat the same search but this
time use a wildcard like "arch*" as a file name pattern. Examine the results
set.
- Experiment with other method searches.
