Search¶
One way of discovering useful resources in your data infrastructure is by searching. You can start searching at every moment. Look up. The search bar is right there. So just start typing key terms and press ENTER. The Data Catalog will show you all the views and web services available in the Virtual DataPort server and external elements that match your query
The Data Catalog supports two ways to search through all the elements in the catalog:
Metadata search. For a view, web service or external element to appear in the query results, the query terms must exist in its name, description, fields, custom properties, etc.
Content search. For a view, web service or external element to appear in the query results, the query terms must match with its data.

The REST API of Data Catalog has operations to query this search engine so you can integrate it in to another application. See the REST API documentation to learn how to invoke this API.
