Using the Search and Reporting service

The searching and reporting service provides a high-level mechanism for retrieving data stored in the datastore. It is mainly driven by a query language that specifies which nodes to retrieve, and the attributes of those nodes to display.

This section describes how to enter search queries, and provides reference to the query language itself. The material is intended for software developers and users who are familiar with the data model and the taxonomy as well as query languages such as SQL.

 

Tip: For faster searching, add an asterisk to the end of your partial query. Example: cert*
