### Finding Objects

The Find function helps you to retrieve a specific Object from the data that is listed in the current context, for example, Query Results Panel, Project List, and so on.

Find checks all the displayed attributes of every Object listed in the Query Results Panel. You can choose which attributes are displayed. See Personalizing the Query Results Panel Layout.

The time for the Find operation is dependent on the number of Objects being searched.

To find an Object:

1. Click Find in the Query Toolbar. The Find dialog box is displayed.
2. In the Condition field, choose one of the options from the dropdown list.

- Contains: Searches for the text entered in the Text field in all the attributes of all the Objects in the Results panel being searched.
- Whole Text Only: As above, but only returns a find if one of the attributes consists of just the required text.
- Starts With: Searches for the text entered in the Text field at the beginning of all the attributes of all the Objects in the Panel being searched.
- Wildcards: As Contains, but utilizes `*' to represent any string.

1. Enter the required text in the Text field. If required, select the Case Sensitive check box.
2. Click Find. The found rows are highlighted in gray.

NOTE:

Every attribute of every Object in the Results Panel being searched is checked against the conditions. The time for the Find operation is dependent on the number of Objects being searched.
