Note

Domains Search is part of Alation Full-Page search. This page highlights the features belonging to Domains Search. Refer to Full-Page Search for information about Full-Page Search features.

Searching within a Domain can help focus the search and accelerate the discovery of relevant data.

The search box is located on the top and center of the catalog page. Searches can be performed specifically in a single Domain or Subdomain or across all Domains by selecting an option from the drop list. The All Domains search will search among all objects in the Catalog including objects that do not belong to any Domain.

Alation users can drill down to make these searches even more granular or drill up to make them broader. The search results page has several filter options to filter the search results. The More Types list has the Domains Object Type, which allows the user to search all the existing Domains. The following standard filters are available for most of the object types and the remaining filters vary based on the searched object type:

• Object Type

• Started/Watched/Visited

• Source

• Flags

• Tagged With
