Purpose of this article:

Figure 1: K Search Page

Search is similar to using Google. It helps you find the right data, content or users across the data ecosystem. It provides recommendations as you type, remembers your previous searches, and ranks the results based on relevance.

You can access search from your Home page or by clicking on the Search icon in the sidebar.

 

 

Instructions

  1. Click on the search bar on your home page or the search icon on your sidebar

  2. Enter a search term in the search bar and press ENTER or click the Search icon to run the search.

Helpful search tips

  • Space is treated as OR. e.g. if you search for transactions sales you are searching for any object that is linked to the term transaction OR sales. To search as one term, search “transaction sales”

  • Labels must be in lower case and operators must be in UPPER CASE

  • Use advance search terms like wildcards (*), AND/OR and specific object filters using “labels:[object]”. e.g. “labels:tables AND name:*customer*”

  • Refer to the Advanced Search article for more phrases

  • Refine your search results by selecting one of the categories below the search bar e.g. Tables

Reviewing your search results

Your search results are displayed in different tabs. To refine your search results you can:

  • Select the tab you are interested in

  • Use the available filters or add additional filters by clicking the ‘Add Filter’ option (Figure 2)

  • Click on ‘Edit Columns’ to change the information displayed on your search results page (Figure 3)
