Working with QMF search
You can search on QMF objects using the search functionality.
About this task
You can open the search by clicking on the search icon on the toolbar or by clicking on the QMF Search from Window > Show View > Other > QMF Workbench .
The QMF Search window pane opens and you can type the text to be searched in the Search field. This operation returns search results.
When you click on a search result, the QMF object is highlighted in the expanded Repository Explorer tree and opens in the editor.
The search functionality allows you to search the QMF objects with a specific file name or
specific file content. This search operation is performed across multiple data sources within the
connected repository. You can also search for the content of Visual Query and
Procedures.
QMF objects are indexed while user performs operations such as create, edit, move, or delete objects. Search functionality searches only indexed objects.
- Wildcard search: If you want to search specific characters, you can concatenate
*to those characters. Search will return all the QMF objects starting or ending with those characters. - Fuzzy search: If you want to find strings that approximately match a pattern in your
data, you can perform fuzzy search by appending
~in the search text. - Proximity search: Proximity searches allows you to find terms that are near each other in a document. Insert a tilde “~” symbol at the end of a phrase followed by the number of words that create the proximity boundary. For example, "select mytable"~5 will find the terms “select” and “mytable” within 5 words of each other.
