Error description

• In IBM Rational Software Architect (RSA) v9.0.0.1 and higher,
  the "Window > Preferences > Modeling > Profiles > Stereotype
  Attributes for Search" setting does not find stereotype
  attributes.
  
  The following steps recreate the problem:
  
  1. Deploy a profile in which, for example, you have a stereotype
  <<Stereotype1>> on, for example, a usage relationship that has
  the "Attrib1" attribute
  
  
  2. Go to the "Window > Preferences > Modeling > Profiles >
  Stereotype Attributes for Search" setting and add the "Attrib1"
  stereotype attribute
  
  3. Create a model with an interface, component, and usage
  relationship that connects the two.
  
  4. Apply the <<Stereotype1>> stereotype to the usage
  relationship and set the "Attrib1" attribute to "TestAttribute"
  
  5. Label the usage relationship "TestUsage"
  
  6. Perform a search with Search > Model...
  
  EXPECTED RESULT: When testing on "TestUsage" and "TestAttribute"
  the usage relationship and stereotype attribute are found.
  ACTUAL RESULT: When searching for "TestUsage", the usage
  relationship is found, but nothing is found when searching for
  "TestAttribute".
  

Local fix

• There is no workaround.

  * Model search for the stereotype attributes does not look in  *
  * the stereotype attribute values and no search results are    *
  * shown.                                                       *

Problem conclusion

• When user adds the stereotype attributes to be searched to the
  "Window > Preferences > Modeling > Profiles > Stereotype
  Attributes for Search" list and enable the Search Text elements
  -> Code snippets option in model search dialog, the
  corresponding stereotype attributes will be searched and shown
  in the search results dialog.
