Searching for objects: Simple search

You can search for the following objects within your project using the Search field at the top of MicroStrategy Web:

•  

• Folders

• Reports

• Report Services documents

• HTML documents

• Filters

• Prompts

• Templates

• Custom groups

• Shortcuts

MicroStrategy Web limits the maximum number of reports, documents, HTML documents, and folders returned in any search to 50. An administrator can increase or decrease the number of items returned in a search.

You can perform a simple search to locate specific reports, documents, and other objects. If you are having difficulty locating the object, you can also try a more focused search by object type, creation date, and location.
