Search example: Searching for a DITA element

This example builds on the previous example—searching for a specific topic type—and refines the search so that it finds all referable-content topics that contain the <note> element.

We'll assume that you just finished running the referable-content search and that your search returned several hundred topics in the results. So now we'll add a search criteria to narrow its scope.

At the end of the previous example, the Cycles and Document Types panels looked like the image below.



  1. In the Search for panel, select note from the Search in drop-down list.
  2. Click the Search button.

All the refererable-content documents in the Authoring cycle that contain a note are displayed in the Search Results view.
