  • If you need to search against all assets, do the search in the Governance Publisher Home page.

  • Buymore

    Info

    If you type text without a keyword in the search field, the search query interprets it as you want to retrieve an asset that contains the word you enter in its name. For an example, typing "BuyMore" is similar to the following search query: name:BuyMore.
