Search box

Important 

In Collibra 2024.05, we launched a new user interface (UI) for Collibra Data Intelligence Platform! You can learn more about this latest UI in the UI overview.

Use the following options to see the documentation in the latest UI or in the previous, classic UI:

The global search box enables you to find resources that contain a word that begins with your search text. For example, if you enter ca, the search results could contain California, Lewis Carroll, or Meer-cat.

To see the search box, in the top navigation bar, click .

When you simply click inside the search box, the 5 most recently viewed resources appear as search suggestions within the box.

As you enter a text in the search box, the top 10 assets appear as search suggestions within the box.

Clicking inside the search box

 When you simply click inside the search box, the following appear as search suggestions within the box:
  • 5 of your most recently visited assets. Clicking any of them opens the asset page.
  • 3 of your most recently searched texts, indicated by a clock icon. Clicking any of them opens the search page with results.

Entering a text in the search box

 As you enter a text in the search box, the following appear as search suggestions within the box:
  • 3 of your most recently visited assets that match your current search text. If there are fewer than 3 such assets, the remaining spots are filled with top matching items, which best match your search text. Clicking a top matching item opens the corresponding page.
  • 3 of your most recently searched texts that match your current search text, indicated by a clock icon. Clicking any of them opens the search page with results.
Note 
  • In compiling the top matching items for search suggestions, the search engine searches for your text only in the Name field. As such, the top matching items might not always appear as the top results on the search page after you perform a search. Boosting influences the order of the top results.
  • Data Marketplace results don't appear as search suggestions. They are shown only after you perform a search, that is, on the search page.

After entering a text in the search box

After you enter a text in the search box, to perform a search, press Enter. This opens the search page containing the results that match your search text.

Tip 
  • If your search text doesn't match any existing content, results are shown for the closest matching text.
  • If you perform a search with a community or domain page open, the search results on the search page are automatically filtered by the current community or domain.
