How to share Search Models?

[Biges]

Hi!
Some people in our company work on with one EA project file. However when I create a Search Model, others do not see it, even when they re-load the project (or close/open it). The only solution is to export the search to an xml file and import it.
Surely they must be an easier solution. Please recommend, thank

Export the searches into XML, then include it in an MDG technoloy file which you can put on a web server or shared volume.
If anybody points his EA to the location where the file is installed they will automatically load the searches with the technology upon startup and always get the latest update.

Thanks for your answer!
How exactly can I edit the MDG file?

I followed some instructions in the help and in this forum and changed the MDS file:

Code: [Select]

<MDG.Selections model="P:\QA\Test Model\CFD Test Model.eap">
      <Technology id="CFD_mdata" name="CFD Shared" version="1.0" notes="Used to store shared metadata for the CFD Test Model, specially the searches." filename="P:\QA\Test Model\MDG_CFD1.xml"/>
  <ModelSearches file="P:\QA\Test Model\searches1.xml"/>
</MDG.Selections>
I think it is actually a bug in the EA, becuase other data, for example Model Views, are automatically usable by all users. But they don't work anyway, because the searches included in the Model Views are not shared/usable by all.
