Overview

Universal Search enables you to search through numerous sources of information about SnapLogic Pipelines and Snaps. You can search in SnapLogic Designer, Manager, and Dashboard from the following sources:

Documentation: Search through articles from the SnapLogic documentation portal.
SnapLogic Community: Search through posts from customers, partners, and SnapLogic to read responses from SnapLogic experts and fellow users.
Configured Snap: Search for existing Snaps from across multiple Projects. The results display configured Snaps in regularly executing Pipelines from the Projects that you have access to.
Pipelines: Search for existing Pipelines from across multiple Projects. The results display high-quality Pipelines in the Projects that you have access to. Pipelines deemed as high quality have successfully executed repeatedly, unlike the Pipeline Catalog, which returns all Pipelines that you have access to.

The underlying search mechanism behind Universal Search in the SnapLogic platform does not include close matches in the list of results when there are typos or misspellings in your search terms.
