Search Options

Search Modes

Option Default Description
Case Sensitive Off Match exact case. When off, patient matches Patient, PATIENT, etc.
Regex Off Use Java regular expression syntax. When off, all characters are treated as literals.

Search Scopes

Option Default Description
Channels On Search channel-level scripts and connector scripts.
Code Templates On Search all code template libraries.
Global Scripts On Search global deploy, undeploy, preprocessor, and postprocessor scripts.
Message Templates Off Search inbound/outbound message templates on connectors. See Message Templates for details.
Selected Channels Only Off Restrict channel search to channels selected in the Channels list. Only enabled when channels are selected.

At least one scope must be meaningful for a search to return results. Unchecking all scopes will simply return no matches.

What Gets Searched

Channels

When Channels is checked, the following scripts are searched for each channel:

  • Preprocessing Script
  • Postprocessing Script
  • Deploy Script
  • Undeploy Script
  • Source connector: Filter rules, Transformer steps, Response Transformer steps
  • Each destination connector: Filter rules, Transformer steps, Response Transformer steps

Each filter rule and transformer step is searched individually. The result location includes the step number, type, and name (e.g., Source > Transformer > Step 0 (JavaScript): init).

Code Templates

When Code Templates is checked, the code body of every code template is searched. Results are grouped under their library in the tree (e.g., My Library → myUtilityFunction), so templates with the same name in different libraries stay distinct. Templates that belong to no library are grouped under (No Library).

Global Scripts

When Global Scripts is checked, all global scripts are searched. These are the scripts found under Channels > Edit Global Scripts in OIE Administrator.

Message Templates

When Message Templates is checked, the inbound and outbound message templates on each connector's transformer and response transformer are searched. See Message Templates for important performance considerations.

Selected Channels Only

When channels are selected in the Channels list before opening the search dialog, the Selected Channels Only checkbox becomes enabled. Checking it restricts the channel search to only the selected channels.

This is useful when you want to search a specific group of channels without searching the entire environment. Code Templates and Global Scripts are not affected by this filter.

When the search dialog is launched from the channel editor, this option is automatically checked and locked to the current channel.
