Using Advanced Search
You can use advanced search options to refine your search query and search BPEL elements by their name and/or type.
To find BPEL elements using advanced search:
- In the IDE, verify that the Design view of your process diagram is the active view.
- On the toolbar press the Advanced Search button.
You can also press Ctrl-Alt-Shift-F.
- In the Name field of the Advanced Search dialog box, enter the name of the element you want to find.
- In the Type list, select the BPEL construct to refine your search query. If you do not want to limit your search only to the specified constructs, leave the default Any Element value.
- If you want to distinguish between uppercase and lowercase characters in your search query, select the Match Case checkbox.
- If you want to use the "?" and "*" wildcards, select the Pattern Match checkbox.
Note that this option disables the use of other regular expressions.
- If you want to use a regular expression, select the Regular Expression checkbox. You need to clear the Pattern Match checkbox first.
