Search Model: How search specific model
« on: August 28, 2012, 04:45:15 pm »
Hi,
My EA project contains multiple root node models.
I want to perform a search (Model Search) to just find items that are in one of the root node models.

How can this be acheived? I cant see any obvious way that the model Search is sensitive to the model selected in project browser.
I cant see any option to allow me put a search string against the root node model.

Thx
Derek

found answer.
In the Model Search you have to.
1. Options - Manage Searches
2. Search Options  and set the scope to "Return matching items for selected package.
(the Search Options is a button on the toolbar when Manage Searches open.


NOTE: the default search scope seems to be "return matching items for the entire model"

This is ambiguous. What is the entire model?
A project can contain multiple models. There is not a concept of the entire model. There is a concept of an entire project.
So this search options should be
- entire project
- current model
- current package.

Project
   Model0
     Package00
     Package01
   Model1
      Package10
      etc.

Thx
Derek
