Use a subsearch to search within a set of completed search results. You can refine your
search results without searching the database again. Each time that you perform a search, the entire
database is queried for connections that match your criteria. This process might take an extended
amount of time, depending on the size of your database.
About this task
A subsearch is not available for grouped searches or searches in progress.
Procedure
- Click the Risks tab.
- From the navigation menu, click Connections.
- Perform a search.
- When your search is complete, add a filter by completing the following steps:
- Click Add Filter.
- Using the first list, select an attribute on which you
want to search.
- Using the second list, select the modifier that you want to use for the search. The
list of modifiers that display depends on the attribute that is selected in the first
list.
- In the text field, type-specific information that is related to your
search.
- Click Add Filter.
Tip: If the search remains in progress, partial results are displayed. The
Original Filter pane indicates the filter that the original search was based
on. The
Current Filter pane indicates the filter that is applied to the
subsearch.
You can clear subsearch filters without restarting the original search. Click the
Clear Filter link next to the filter that you want to clear. If you clear a
filter from the Original Filter pane, the original search is
relaunched.
- Click Save Criteria to save the subsearch.
Results
If you delete the original search, you can access the saved subsearch. If you add a filter, the
subsearch searches the entire database since the search function is no longer based on a data set
that was previously searched.
