## 10.5. Searching Results for Report Content

If you are performing a search to find reports in the repository, then you can further refine your search by filtering the results you obtain for report content. Note that the search includes standalone reports as well as reports that are part of simulation files.

To filter search results for report content, select (More) > Search Reports on the toolbar. This will open the Advanced Search - By Report Content dialog box where you can specify the criteria for searching reports. (Figure 10.9: Specifying Folders to Search In)

Figure 10.9: Specifying Folders to Search In

1. The search results will already be listed as items to search. To add a folder to the search list, click Add, then select a folder from the repository file system. To remove items, click Remove.

2. Click Next > to filter objects. Filtering provides you with an easy way to restrict searching to a subset of reports found in the selected folders.

   Figure 10.10: Advanced Search - By Report Content: Filter Objects

   1. To filter by report type, select the desired types in the left pane and click Filter >.

   2. To filter by report path, or part of a path (including the report name), enter a value in the Enter Report path name pattern box (using an asterisk as a wildcard where necessary) and click Filter>. For example, if you wanted to search reports found only in My Data, you would enter `*My Data*` in the name pattern box. Or, if there were several reports in the list that had the name Simulation Details Report in their path (for example, /Data/My Data/fluent-elbow.cas/Simulation Details Report and pipe-optimization.wbpz/Simulation Details Report), but you only wanted to search those from Fluent .cas files, you would enter `*cas/Sim*` as the path pattern.

   3. The filtered reports will appear in the Report(s) to search in list to the right. The list can contain standalone reports as well as `CaeModelSummaryReport` files that are part of simulation files. If required, you can select any report from this list and click the Remove button to remove it.

3. Click Next > to set up the report table.

   Figure 10.11: Advanced Search - By Report Content: Define Search Expression

   1. The tables from filtered reports in the last step will be displayed in the Table drop-down list. Select the table you want to use in the query from the list.

   2. Select the Row header (the value in the first row) and Column header for the query and click Add. The query will be added to the Expression below.

   3. Choose the condition and provide the value for the added query.

   4. Repeat step b. and c. to add more queries.

   5. Choose the match criteria as: matches all of the following (AND) or matches any of the following (OR).

   6. Click OK to execute the search. The search results will be listed in the file list window. Note that the search results may contain standalone reports as well as simulation files that contain reports.

   7. Manage the query and search results using actions described in Managing Queries and Search Results.
