Folders or objects that satisfy the search criteria are displayed. What Results are Returned from a Full-Text Catalog Search? When you use the full-text catalog search, it locates those objects that have been crawled and indexed and for which you have the appropriate permissions. To prohibit an object from being indexed, make the appropriate setting in the objects Properties dialog . When you initiate a full-text catalog search, you see a window that displays the results of the search. The list of results includes any objects that match the criteria, for which you have at least the Open permission. If an object is stored in a folder, then you must have the Traverse folder and Open object permissions. Note that objects with the No Access permission are not available. The string that you are searching for is displayed in a highlighted manner, such as bold font or a colored background. In some cases, you might not see the string in the list of results. This happens when the string is used by the object but is not part of its object name or path name. The string is included in the definition of an object, such as in the columns that are specified as part of the analysis. For example, suppose that the Oracle BI Presentation Catalog contains an analysis that uses a dashboard prompt that accepts Central Region as a value. Suppose you search for Central with the full-text catalog search. The returned list includes the analysis that uses the prompt that accepts Central Region as a value. If you click that analysis in the list, then you see that analysis open so that it is filtered by Central Region using the prompt, because that is what you searched for. Making the Full-Text Catalog Search Available to End Users The content designer or administrator can make the full-text catalog search available to users through the following means: ■ The content designer or administrator can provide users with the URL for the full-text catalog search page so that they can bookmark it and display it in a browser. ■ The content designer can embed the URL in a link on a dashboard page. For example, on a dashboard page, the content designer can add an action link that enables users to navigate to the full-text catalog search’s URL. For information, see Chapter 10, Working with Actions. ■ The administrator can configure Oracle BI EE to display the Secure Enterprise Search for Oracle BI link in the Home page. When configured, this link displays in the BrowseManage... pane’s All Contents list. The user clicks this link to access the full-text catalog search page. For information about configuring Oracle BI EE to display this link, see Configuring for Full-Text Catalog Search in Oracle Fusion Middleware System Administrators Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition. Note: To search for Hidden Items, you must select the Show Hidden Items box, which is located on the Catalog Page’s header.
