The XML Schema Explorer enables you to search the schema set in the following ways:

Keyword search
Schema-specific search

Keyword Search

You perform keyword searches by using the XML Schema Explorer toolbar. The XML Schema Explorer searches the schema set for any name or ref attributes that match the specified keyword. This enables you to find an element, attribute, type, and so on by name.

The toolbar shows the results of the search. The search results are also highlighted in the XML Schema Explorer and marked on the scroll bar. You can navigate the search results by using the Go To Next Search Result and Go To Previous Search Result buttons on the XML Schema Explorer toolbar; by using the keyboard keys F3 and ALT-F3; or by clicking the tick marks in the scroll bar.

The following illustration shows the search options available on the XML Schema Explorer toolbar.
