Use the search

SAS Information Delivery Portal.

Click
Search in the banner.
The search
panel appears.

Keywords
Use either of these
methods:
-
Enter one or more words, each separated
by a space.
The search tool returns
all of the content whose metadata (name, description, or keywords)
contains one or more of the words that you entered.
-
Enter a phrase consisting of two
or more words, and place double quotation marks around the phrase.
The search tool returns
all of the content whose metadata (name, description, or keywords)
contains the exact phrase that you entered.
Alternatively, you
can search for all content by entering an asterisk (*) with no other
text. An asterisk acts as a wildcard only when you enter it by itself.
For example, to find Sales History, First Quarter Sales, and Monthly
Sales Forecast, you would enter the search term
sales. Do not enter
sales*,
*sales, or
*sales* unless you are searching for a name or
description that actually contains the asterisks.
Note: Using an asterisk
can slow down your search and return a large amount of content. Use
the asterisk sparingly. To narrow this type of search, you should
also select one of the content type check boxes, as described below.
Content Types
Select one or more
check boxes to indicate which content types you want to find. (If
you want to find all content types, click the Select All check box.)
Note: You must select
at least one content type. Otherwise, no search results are returned.
Results per page
From the drop-down
list, select the number of search results to be displayed on each
page. The default is 20 results.
-
The search
results appear on the right side of the page. The search tool returns
public content as well as any content that you are authorized to access.
