Finding structures and structure elements

Discover various methods for locating structures and structure elements within Teamcenter, including global, advanced, and in-context searches, to efficiently find the data you need.

You can search for structures or structure components using the following methods:

Global Search	Searches all indexed data in Teamcenter.
Advanced Search	Searches for data by using specific criteria based on predefined queries.
In-context search	Searches for content within an open structure, a working context, or a session that is composed of structures. The structure can be indexed by using either Active Content Structure indexing or Smart Discovery Indexing. It may be non-indexed as well. The non-indexed search requires a Context Management User license. This is used for Quick Find searches.

You can perform a simple search to find an occurrence of an object in an open structure. You can enter any attribute or text associated with the occurrence (for example, a name) and then click Search . Search results span the entire context.

You can use the same syntax as for full-text searches, including operators such as OR and AND. You can use the Filter tab to narrow the results by selecting specific filters and categories.
