Searching for packages and rule files

Using the search feature, you can search for packages and rule files throughout a rule project.

About this task

You can use the Search dialog to search packages and rule files for some rule artifacts that you specify by selecting the appropriate options.

In the Search menu, select Search to open the Search dialog, and then click the Rule Search tab to open the Rule Search page.
The Rule, BOM, and XOM searches are Eclipse-specific.
Specify patterns to find rules, tasks, functions, and rule packages in the Search string field.
Use * for a multi-character wildcard and ? for a single-character wildcard. Using wildcards, you can specify all or part of the name of the rule, task, function, or rule package that you are searching for.
Select the Case sensitive box if you want your search to differentiate lowercase from uppercase characters in names.
Select Include referenced projects if you want to conduct the search on the current project and its dependencies.
If you do not select this option, the search is only done on the current project.
In the Search for area, select the type of element that you want to locate.
In the Limit to area, click Name if you want the search to be carried out on the names of rule, functions, tasks, and rule packages, or click Body for rules and functions.
Click Search.

The results are displayed in the Search view of the Rule Designer Eclipse window.
