Search for a Component by Description

You can search for a component in the library browser by the description of the component.

  1. Open the library browser by selecting System | Libraries | Libraries.
  2. Select a main folder, library type folder or library folder to search. If you want to search standard libraries, your own libraries and project libraries, select All Libraries.
  3. Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu.
  4. Select Search From Libraries.
  5. Enter a search query in a text box.

    You can use wildcard characters, such as an asterisk (*) and question mark (?) in the search query. The question mark stands for a single character, and the asterisk stands for any combination of characters.

  6. Click OK or press Enter.

The search results are displayed in the right side browser pane. You can open the library folder of the component by selecting the component and then Open Containing Folder from the right-click menu.

Note:
  • System tab is only available if you are a system administrator.
