Search for content
Using the search in the Portal, you can search your enterprise model for all content. The search in the Portal is a full text search. All model objects are searched and all hits of the search word in the model object or in one of its attributes are output in the search results. You open the search via the menu bar in the Portal.
See also: To include certain objects in the search in the Portal, you can expand the search results in the SystemAdministration. To learn how to expand search results for specific objects, see Extend search results.
Note: The Portal search takes into account a maximum of three server languages and the order in which they are stored. If no result is found in the current Portal language, Aeneis searches two other languages, specifically those that are stored first in the Server settings.
Example: Your current Portal language is Italian. The following languages have been stored in the Server settings: de;en;fr;it. This means that Aeneis can find model contents in the Portal search which are stored in Italian, German and English.
Filter search results
You have the possibility to filter the search before and after. If you have not yet executed the search in the Portal, you can select one or more categories to be searched exclusively.
Once you have executed the search in the Portal, you can filter the search results in the left pane using quick filters. You can still adjust the category filter after the executed search.
-
Categories: Here you can select one or more categories before or after the search is executed, according to which the search results will be filtered.
-
Category list: The category list shows you the categories of the search results and how many objects of the category were found. By clicking on a category, the search results are filtered according to this category.
Note: The category list and the search results are reset as soon as you change the filters in Categories.

More search settings: You can expand more search settings and make further filter settings for the search results there.
