About Find and Search

Essbase Studio offers two methods to help you locate metadata elements, Find and Search.

Find focuses on looking for metadata within selected user interface components of the Essbase Studio Console. For example, you may choose to find a metadata element in the Metadata Navigator, the minischema work area, or the Data Source Navigator. Further, you may select a folder in the Metadata Navigator or Data Source Navigator and perform the Find only within that folder.

Search performs searches on your entire metadata catalog. Alternatively, you can narrow the search to look only for specific types of metadata elements, such as hierarchies or cube schemas.
