Using Index Search
Index Search enables you to search multiple indexes of the metadata available to you in EDI Browser. The index search function is available both as a portlet and through dedicated controls in the title bar of Rochade.
If the Dashboard does not contain the Search portlet, see Configuring Portlets on the Dashboard for information on how to display it.
For information on how to set up index search and how to create indexes for the metadata stored in Enterprise DI, see Setting Up Index Search.

Facet Search
If the facet search is enabled in the search parameters, the categories in which the search results have been found are displayed in the Search pathway.
The facet search tree may have two or three levels:
- First level: Index name. If you have selected an index from the drop down list, it is the only one that displays. If you searched for all indexes and items are found from multiple indexes, you may have several index names at this level.
- Second level: Item types.
- Third level (for Business Glossary only): Name of the Glossary that the business terms and contexts found by the search belong to.
If you click a category’s name hyperlink in the pathway, the search result is limited to the items that have been found in that category:
