Search results do not display referenced assets. For example, if you publish a package that contains one service, but that service in turn calls other services in different packages, then when you search for all services you will only see the one service in the package you published, not all of the referenced services. To see what your one service depends on, you can Show Dependencies, and to see what your one service refers to, you can Show References.

For a selected asset, you can view related assets: references and dependencies. Referenced assets are used by the selected asset. Dependent assets use, or "depend on," the selected asset. For example, a process might use a number of Integration Server (IS) services. The IS services are references of the process.

You can view the related assets of an asset by right-clicking it in the Solutions or Registry Explorer view and then choosing Show References or Show Dependencies. The related assets are displayed in the Search view.

You can also view the related assets of an asset returned by a search. In the Search view, right-click the asset and choose Show References or Show Dependencies.

Related asset information is metadata that comes from either the workspace index or CentraSite. When you choose to view related assets, you are given a choice of viewing the related asset information from the workspace index or CentraSite.

The related asset information for the same asset might be different in the workspace index than in CentraSite. The latest changes to the asset reflected in the workspace index may not have been published to CentraSite, or the version in the workspace index may not have been updated with the latest changes reflected in CentraSite.

Only directly related assets are shown in the Search view. For example, if A references B and B references C, only B is shown as a reference of A. C is not shown because it is not directly referenced by A.
