Full-text Search
HOPEX Solutions enable you to perform full-text searches over all the repository objects that are indexed.
Your repository must be indexed. If not, you can use the advanced search, see Advanced Search.The full-text search is always available in your HOPEX desktop and gives access to two types of results, based on:
• the name (short name only) of objects, results of the simple full-text search
• the name of objects as well as their attributes, results of the extended full-text search
If the repository is indexed, indexation runs automatically every 10 minutes (which is an adaptable default value) thanks to the indexing scheduler. This indexing is incremental and about created and modified objects, see "Managing Repository Indexing".The Simple Full-Text Search
You can access the full-text search from your HOPEX desktop toolbar.
Prerequisite: the repository is indexed. Repository indexing is performed by your administrator.
For more details, see "Enabling/Disabling repository indexing for full-text search".
