The Modelio fast search tool quickly finds elements in a model, based simply on their name.
The fast search looks for namespaces (packages, classes, datatypes, ) based on the following criteria:
Namespaces whose name exactly matches what is entered in the search field.
Namespaces whose name corresponds to a Boost regular expression (for example, “Training.*” will locate all namespaces starting with “Training”). For more information on Boost regular expressions, please see http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_38_0/libs/regex/doc/html/boost_regex/syntax/perl_syntax.html.
If you click on the arrow on the right of the fast search field, a list of the searches you have already carried out is displayed. You can browse this list using the up/down keys on your keyboard or using your mouse. To select an element to search for from this list, just click on it to make it appear in the field and then press “Enter”.
After running a fast search, the fast search results window appears.
The window above shows the results of the fast search run in our example.
You can select an element in the “Model” view simply by double-clicking on it in the search results window.
