Finding an entity using the UDDI registry user interface

We can use the UDDI registry user interface to find services, businesses, and technical models.

Ensure the UDDI registry application is started and the UDDI registry user console is displayed.

To use the UDDI registry user interface (also referred to as the UDDI registry user console) to find services, businesses, and technical models, use the following procedure.

1. In the UDDI registry console, activate the Find pane. Either click the Find tab, or click the Find link at the top of the page or on the Welcome page.

2. Optional: For a simple search without any find qualifiers, use the following steps:
   1. In the Quick Find section of the Find tab, select the kind of entity to find; service, business, or technical model.
   2. In the Starting with field, enter the name of the entity. Use the percent (%) wildcard character to search for a partial name.

   3. Click Find.

   The results are displayed.

3. Optional: For advanced search, use the following steps:
   1. In the Advanced Find section of the Find tab, click the appropriate link for the kind of entity to find; service, business, or technical model. The advanced search form is displayed in the frame.

   2. Enter your search criteria in the advanced search form, and select any find qualifiers that you require.

      You must enter at least one name to search for, using the Add Name link. We can use this link to enter multiple names.

      We can also add multiple categorizations. To add a categorization, use the Show category tree link in the Categorizations section to display, a tree of categories (or taxonomies) that define the types of item to find according to various classification systems. Expand the tree to find the category you want, click the category to add the information to the advanced search form, then use the Add Categorization link to include the category in the search.

   3. Click Find entities.

   The results are displayed in the detail frame.
