Search for content

You can use the Portal search to search for specific content within your company model. 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.

Search logic

Aeneis uses specific weighting and filtering to display the most relevant hits for your search term at the top of the list.

Visible names are more relevant than attribute values

Hits in the visible name of the object are the most relevant. Hits in attribute values are listed lower in the hit list.

Exact matches most relevant

By default, Aeneis returns hits if your search term appears in a character string in the display name or in attributes. The most relevant hits are those in which the search term matches exactly a character string in the display name or in an attribute value.

Matches with multiple search terms

Hits that contain strings that match all or several search terms are displayed at the top.

Filter hits using wildcards

You can limit the results displayed by using the * wildcard in your search term. By placing the placeholder at a specific position in the search term, you specify where the search term must appear within a character string for the hit display.

Position of the placeholder	Result	Examples
education*	The search is restricted to results in which the character string appears before the asterisk.	educational
*out	The search is restricted to results containing the character string after the asterisk.	wipeout
Jo*son	The search is restricted to results in which the character strings appear before and after the asterisk.	Johanson
Search without placeholder or *han*	If the search term appears in a character string in the display name or in an attribute value, a hit is displayed. The position of the search term in character strings is not taken into account.	If you search for hans or *hans*, you will get hits for the following character strings, for example: Hansen Johansson Hans

Limit hits to exact matches

By placing the search term in quotation marks, you can restrict the results to exact matches.

Filter search results

You have the option of filtering 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 further search settings and make further filter settings for the search results.

Sort search results

Using the drop-down menu at the top right of the search, you can sort the search results alphabetically or by their last modification date:

You can open search results in the search in various ways:

• By clicking on the search result.
