Custom Searches

You can choose search filters that meet specific search requirements. Choose the properties and values you are interested in, save these criteria so you can run the same search again, and share a saved search with other users who are working on related projects.

To create a custom search:

Click Create a new Custom Search to start a new search.
Optional: If prompted, select the data view.
The data view defines the database and table that will be searched.
Enter any search terms.
To restrict your search to records in specific Favorites Lists or folders in the database Tree, use the controls below the Search box.
To add search criteria, enter a material property name, and then specify the required value or range.

Tip: You can organize property filters into groups. Click Add Group, and add properties to your group by typing the property name in the search box. You can rename, reorder, and delete groups using the filter panel controls.
To save your search, click Save, then enter a name for your search and, optionally, a description and some notes.

After saving, you can access your saved search from both the Granta MI web application and MI Materials Gateway:

To run a saved custom search from the Granta MI web application, click Custom Searches then select the search, and click Run this search now.
To run a saved custom search from MI Materials Gateway, choose Custom Search, click View saved searches, and then select a search and click Run this search now.
