Searching for Information

The portal enables you to associate keywords with items that you add to your portal. These keywords become part of the metadata that is associated with the item. If you share the item, others can search for it by using this metadata.
The search tool, available via the Search link in the portal banner, enables you to search for specific content that has metadata registered in the portal.
The content that you can search for includes pages, page templates, portlets, and content items. Content items can be applications, links, syndication channels, files, SAS Information Maps, packages, publication channels, SAS Reports, and SAS Stored Processes.
For the keyword, you can enter a single word, multiple words, or a phrase. Alternatively, you can enter a single asterisk (*) wildcard to search all keywords without any filtering. You can search by entering an item's name, description, or keywords. For the content type, you can select any of the check boxes, but you must select at least one content type as the basis for your search.
After performing a search, in the search results page you can bookmark items that you want to keep, and you can e-mail an item's URL address to someone else. If you have the appropriate authorization, you can also edit and delete items.
