Save search as a hyperlink?

[peter.zrnko]

In Release Notes for EA 7.0 Build 815 there is promissed:
Added capability of showing searches run from a hyperlink to the output window.

But how to run a search from a hyperlink? I am not able to find anything regarding saving a search as a hyperlink. (It is possible to hyperlink a matrix or a help page, maybe it's  something similar.)

This has only just made it into the Help, which will be available with the next release of EA.

Hyperlinks can also be added as a Hyperlink object in a diagram with various other targets, such as a Matrix Profile or Help topic.The target opens within the Enterprise Architect work area, as a view.

In the Hyperlink Address field:

For a Matrix Profile, use $matrix:// followed by the name of the profile (eg. $matrix://MyProfile).

For a Help topic, use $help:// followed by the name of the Help topic file (eg. $help://ShipDiag.htm)

For a search, use $search:// followed by the type of search and term (eg. $search://Changes - In Progress;Term High Priority)

To open the discussion forum, use $forum://

To access an internet  facility use $inet:// followed by the http address(eg. $inet://http://www.google.com/)

Note: The difference between this $inet Hyperlink and the direct (http://) link is that the $inet link opens the target as an Enterprise Architect view, whilst the direct link opens the target as a new window separate from Enterprise Architect.

Thanks Roy.

I've tried the search hyperlink but nothing happens. My hyperlink is "$search://Simple;Term searchterm" (without the quotes and searchterm=what I am looking for. What's wrong?

Perhaps you need to use %20 instead of space, or some such...

A bit of experimentation suggests it's $search://Name=search_name;Term=something;

For example:

$search://Name=Extended;Term=State;

My aplogies. I got the command line wrong.

It should be:

$search://Name=searchtype;Term=searchterm;

Thanks Roy & KP.

I was almost there - i'd tried  $search://searchtype;Term=searchterm;
and $search://search=searchtype;Term=searchterm;

...missed it by that much!

[mark.myers]

...also note that Name, Term and searchtype are case-sensitive.

This works: $search://Name=Simple;Term=test

These DO NOT:
$search://name=Simple;Term=test
$search://Name=simple;Term=test
$search://Name=Simple;term=test

The last one will open the search but will not run the search as it has no search term.
