Global Search

The Global Search page at /governance/search is the single search box across everything Clone-Xs knows about: tables, columns, business terms, and tags — across every catalog you have access to.

Search scope​

A single query searches:

  • Tables — match on FQN, comment, owner, tags
  • Columns — match on column name, type, comment
  • Business terms — match on name, abbreviation, definition
  • Tags — match on UC tags applied to any of the above

Results are grouped into tabs with counts:

  • All — combined ranked list
  • Tables — count results
  • Columns — count results
  • Terms — count results

What you see per result​

TypeFields shown
TableFQN, table type, comment snippet, owner
ColumnColumn FQN, data type, comment
Business termName, abbreviation, status badge, definition snippet

Click any result to jump to the relevant detail page (Explorer for tables/columns, Glossary for terms).

API​

POST /governance/search
{
  "query": "customer",
  "search_type": "all",   # or "tables" | "columns" | "terms"
  "limit": 50
}

Returns { total, tables[], columns[], terms[] }.

Indexing​

The search index is rebuilt:

  • On startup
  • After any catalog clone or schema change
  • On demand via POST /governance/search/reindex

Indexing is incremental — only changed catalogs are re-scanned.
