== Searching for Series within dataZoa ==
 
This is about searching for Series that you have in your dataZoa account.  For a discussion about finding Series from the WWW to add to your account, see Searching the World Wide Web for data series.
 
  
Within your account, you can locate your series by:

dataZoa provides two distinct search boxes - "[[#Full account search|full account]]" and “[[#On-page search|on-page]].” Generally speaking, full account search is used to match on ''title'' from your entire collection of series, and the on-page search is used to refine the results.

 For help searching for series outside dataZoa, look here.

dataZoa provides two distinct search boxes - "full account" and “on-page.” Generally speaking, full account search is used to match on title from your entire collection of series, and the on-page search is used to refine the results.

Full account search

Full account search scans every series in your account, matching by title on a search phrase, like "seasonally adjusted" or "gasoline."

This search box is used in both the dropZone and the Workbench:

It matches on portions of Series titles, for all Series in your account. This is useful in finding all series that have “adjusted” in the title, for example.

You can also use this search box to find a single specific series by its Series Key. by using its series key, like ‘SomeAccount/00000123’. This is particularly useful when you want to find a Series that is referenced in a dataZoa display.

On-page search

The dataZoa Workbench shows a variety of details about your series, and On-page searching puts them to work. On-page searching scans just the series that are currently displayed in your Workbench. Use it to match those series by title and other attributes. It uses this search box:

By default, the Workbench displays 50 Series at a time, with a scroll bar if needed. Beyond that, you can page through your series using the paging control:
The Workbench “page size” is configurable under the Preferences tab, up to 500 rows per page. This means that the on-page search can be applied much more widely, but page loading times are proportionately slower.


For details about using the on-page searchbox, hover on the blue help hint (
) in the "Find on page..." box itself, and you'll see this:
