Author Topic: Search in linked documents (Read 3922 times)

Hi,

How is it possible to extend the search ("Find in model") to linked documents?

I'm using linked documents for use case descriptions and it's critical to me to search in those documents. At the moment I don't have an idea how I can do that.

Many thanks in advance.

Rüdiger

Rüdiger,

I think you'll have to create an addin-search to do so.
Linked documents are stored somewhere in the database in a binary field. The binary is in fact a zipped rtf format, so you should be able to unzip the contents, and read the rtf to search.

I guessed that this should be an out-of-the-box feature of EA.

If not ...

@Sparx Systems guys

Please add this feature to the next release. It's really important to be able to search in linked documents !!!

Thanks!

Rüdiger,

This is a user forum.
Sparx employees sometimes read it, but the only way to get someting on their todo list is to send in a feature request
