Finding an object in Oracle9iAS Portal

When you enter search criteria in the Navigator, only the display name (the one that is shown on the Navigator) is compared to the search string. The Find Results page lists only those objects that you are authorized to see.

When you enter your search criteria, wildcards are implicit. Entering J is the same as entering J%; both return all objects beginning with the letter J. Do not enclose multi-word search terms in quotes (i.e., page style, not 'page style'). Also, you cannot search for multiple terms (i.e., page, style) in the same search.

The find function works slightly differently, depending on which tab you're on:

Any user who can see the Navigator can perform a search.

To find an object in Oracle Portal:

  1. Access the Navigator.

  2. Select the tab to which the type of object belongs.

    For example, if you are searching for a navigation bar, click Page Groups.

  3. In the Navigator's Find box, enter the search criteria.

  4. Click Go.

    Your search results are displayed on the Find Results page.
