Search view

Panels in Search view

The Search view is divided into panels that let you specify search criteria, such as the Document Types panel, Languages panel, and Cycles panel. Each panel has expand and collapse buttons that let you hide the panels you aren't currently working with. Most of the panels also have the following a set of buttons:


Function	Button
Save the current settings as the default for that panel
Select all checkboxes
Clear all checkboxes
Apply the defaults for that panel

Search results

The Search Results view lists the results returned by your search criteria. You can group and filter the results.

By default, a maximum of 100 results can be displayed at one time. Search defaults are configurable.

Note: Search is performed on the last version released to the server.

Advanced searches

Many of the most common criteria for Advanced Searches can be accessed from the Cycles, Document Types, and Search for panels. You only need to use the Advanced Search panel for complex searches using many different criteria.

For example, you can search within a specific state for a cycle using the dropdown arrow directly in the Cycles panel instead of having to specify the state index in the Advanced Search panel. You could, for instance, use the dropdown to search only for objects that are in the Authoring:work status.

Another example is the Search for panel. The fulltext option is selected by default, where IXIA CCMS Desktop searches the whole document for the string specified. However, you can use the Search in dropdown list to specify any index, attribute, or element directly in this panel instead of using the Advanced Search panel.
