Use this dialog box
to search pre-extracted metadata for a text string that you specify.
You can also limit the search to InfoCubes, ODS Objects, or InfoObjects,
and you can make other filtering choices, such as whether the search
is case sensitive. You can customize the search by specifying these
criteria:
-
the type of search to perform
-
whether the search is case sensitive
-
the number of search results to
return
-
which sources and fields to include
in the search
You can also perform
a subsearch by searching within a set of returned search results,
or you can clear all search criteria that you have specified by resetting
the defaults. Search results display in the next window in the wizard.
The dialog box contains
these items.

description.

this button.
