Configure a repository search
You can configure an ARIS Repository search in the configuration panel of the Repository search operator.
Click the Repository search operator. The configuration panel opens.
Enable the Use portal database option if you want the search to switch dynamically to the currently active database, or select a database from the drop-down list.

By default, the search runs on the database root if no group is specified. You can limit the search to a database group or subgroup. For performance reasons it is advisable to search at the group level.
Within text: By default, the search finds your search term if the term is located at the beginning of a text. Enable the option if you want the search to find your search term even if it is located within a text. Note that you can additionally use the wildcards '*' and '?' within the search term to perform more detailed searches.
Search in all text attributes: Includes all text attributes in the search in addition to the name attribute.
Include subgroups: Automatically includes all subgroups of a selected group in the search.
