Performing Basic Searches
Use a basic search to locate assets or asset references based on keywords contained in the asset's name and/or description. Designer displays the results of your search in the Search view.
To locate assets and/or asset references,
Designer searches the metadata associated with assets. You can choose to search only the workspace index, or both the workspace index and
CentraSite. For more information, see
The Workspace Index as well as
webMethods BPM Process Development Help and
webMethods Service Development Help.
Note:
If you have workspace indexing disabled now or had it disabled in the past, you might have assets in your workspace that have missing or incomplete metadata. In this case, the search will not properly locate these assets. See
Enabling or Disabling Workspace
Indexing.
