Managing search results

The same part may be listed many times in the search results if it has multiple occurrences in the end item that match the search criteria. For example, the same bolt may be used seven times in the end item and, if all seven usages satisfy the defined proximity filter, the bolt appears seven times in the search results. The search results always displayed shows individual lines without indication of any structure. When Teamcenter displays the result of a search, the children of the node you searched for may be hidden so the search results are displayed quickly. Each hidden node is represented by a … (pruned siblings) icon enclosed in a box. You can click in this box to load and view the hidden children. If the results contain packed lines, the relevant lines are unpacked and displayed. The remaining lines remain packed and are shown as a pack master with a corrected total of lines, or with pruned siblings. The search results contain lines that may not be configured by the variant rules in effect to minimize the time needed to generate the search results.
