Searching for artifacts

Searching for artifacts and sub-artifacts provides a quick and easy way to find the artifact that you want to view or modify. If you know where the artifact is located, you may prefer to browse to find it. Read more about Browsing artifacts.

If you only remember part of the name, can't recall the location, or only know a piece of information in the artifact's textual properties it may be more efficient to use one of the search features.
