You can search the entire repository, subject to permissions, or narrow the search using filters. Filters restrict a search by name, who changed the resource, type of resource, date of the resource, and schedule.
To search the repository, select View Search Results. The search results page appears. Instead of only viewing resources by folder, use intuitive search criteria, such as who modified the resource and when, to find pinpoint resources.
On the search results page, use either the Filters panel or Search field to find resources. The search results page displays results of searches and filters.

If you enter a search term and click 
at the top of any server page, the server doesn’t use filters. The search uses these default settings:
• Include subfolders
• Start at the top-most folder visible to the user
• Search for reports, report outputs, OLAP views, or other resources
• Sort alphabetically by name
If you click View Search Resultsand click on the search results page, the server uses the filters you set in the Filters panel.
See "Search Field and Search Results" shows the results of a search for the term “account” using the filters All available and All types.
