Search Feature for Data Objects and Fields

Use the Search field at the top of the Data Explorer screen to do a quick search for fields, tables, and data objects.

You search by entering at least three characters of a name or keyword in the Search field. Here are some tips to help tailor your search.

  • Include specific phrases inside single or double quotation marks. For example, "hiring manager" or 'requisition title'.
  • Use simple Unix/DOS commands such as ? to match any single character entered in the search, or * to match 0 or more continuous characters within a word. For example, Requi*.
  • The search initiates after typing pauses for several seconds. Finish typing or change your search input, if desired, and the search results will update.
  • Search uses Match All logic, meaning the more terms you enter, the fewer results you are likely to see.
    Note: Search is looking for literal matches of the text you enter. It does not factor in plurals. For example, if you type "requisitions", the Reporting Tool Search doesn't know you mean to return all requisition items. If you're not positive how something is spelled in a Talent Management database, use partial words, such as " st name" or use the wildcards ? or * . For example, if you're not sure if the term used is curricula or curriculum, search for " curricul * location".
