JavaScript is not currently enabled, but is required for full CodeSonar manual search and browse functionality.

If you are viewing this file in your hub's Web GUI, enable JavaScript in your browser: you will also need it for GUI functionality.

If you opened this file directly from disk, your browser may be directly suppressing JavaScript functionality: certain browsers perform this suppression on local files (but not files delivered by web servers) for security reasons.

search domain/scope Use this pull-down menu to specify what you are searching for, and where.

The items in the domain/scope menu vary depending on the current GUI page type. If you want a domain/scope pair that is not available in the menu, use the advanced search tool instead. The menu entry will have one of the following forms.

  • [search] domain in scope
    • The available domains are warnings, files, code, procedures, metrics, analyses. For full details, see Searching: Domain.
    • The available scopes are last analyses, all projects, this analysis, these results. For full details, see Searching: Scope.
  • [search] projects on the hub
    Project search is always hub-wide.
  • [search] users
    User search is always hub-wide.
text field Enter search terms in this field. Search terms may be plain text or CodeSonar search language expressions.
  • If the text field is empty, the search will return everything in the specified domain and scope.
  • Interpretation and case-sensitivity for plain text terms depends on the search domain (see notes: Code, Metric, Procedure, File, Warning, Analysis, Project, User). In general, searches that include plain text terms can be very time consuming if the hub database contains a lot of data.
  • You may get unexpected results if you search for a string without realizing that it has a special interpretation in the applicable search language. The CodeSonar search language page describes these special cases in the notes on 'word' searches.
  • If the text field contains multiple terms, the search will return only results that match all the terms.
  • To search for a phrase, enclose it in quote marks ("").
