The search creates a list of results that you control with
filters.
When you run a search, it produces a list of results. The list
can include numerous rules, decision tables, and folders. You use
the provided filters to control the content of the list.
Filters
These filters control the content
of the search list:
- Type
- Filter by action rules, decision tables, or folders. Clear the All check
box to select individual types.
- Status
- Filter by the status property of a rule. Clear the All check
box to select a specific status.
- Found in
- Filter by content or properties. The search function looks for
search strings in the content of rules, or only in the properties
of project elements.
- Projects
- Filter by the projects that are linked to the current one. All
the projects of a decision service are linked.
- Last edited
- Indicate a time period for the results. The filter includes calendars
for selecting the start and stop dates of the period.
Results
The search list includes the following
information:
- Type
- Each entry includes a type icon: rule, decision table, or folder.

string occurs in them. For example, the search lists a rule with 10
occurrences before a rule with fewer occurrences.
