Showing Asset References and Dependencies
The Search view is a standard Eclipse view. Designer displays the results of a search in the Search view.
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 click Show Dependencies, and to see what your one service refers to, you can click Show References.
When you choose to show references or dependencies in the Solutions or Registry Explorer view, the results are shown in the Search view. See Showing Asset References and Dependencies.
You can take the following actions from the Search view:
Action
Description
View dependencies of an asset
Right-click a row in the Search view.
Select Show Dependencies > In CentraSite or Show Dependencies > In Workspace.
Note:
Because Designer uses metadata to determine dependent assets, if you have set your Designer preferences to disable workspace indexing, the Search view might not list all dependencies. See Enabling or Disabling Workspace Indexing.
View references of an asset
Right-click a row in the Search view.
Select Show References > In CentraSite or Show References > In Workspace.
Note:
Because Designer uses metadata to determine referenced assets, if you have set your Designer preferences to disable workspace indexing, the Search view might not list all references. See Enabling or Disabling Workspace Indexing.
Add an item in the search results to the process editor's canvas
Select a row in the search results and drag it on to the canvas.
Note:
The item in the search result must be appropriate for the type of asset on the canvas for the drag and drop to succeed.
Note:
When you use an asset from CentraSite, you are creating a reference to that asset. You are not including the asset itself in your project or solution; rather, you are referencing the asset based on its metadata in CentraSite. CentraSite assets show CentraSite in the Store column.

Select Show Previous Searches Menu > Clear History to remove all previous search history information, including the one currently displayed.
Pin the Search View
Pinning the Search view means that subsequent searches display results in another Search view, leaving the pinned view and its results unchanged.
Designer displays the Search view automatically when you execute a search. If you close the Search view and want to reopen it, click Window > Show View > General > Search.
