4.4.4.  Color Search

The color search will probably rarely be used as the sole search method, but in combination with another search method such as text search or sketch search it is certainly interesting.

[Note]Note

All table rows should be indexed so that the color search [Color Search] can be used effectively. This is usually the case with in-house parts catalogs, but only a certain percentage of purchased parts catalogs are indexed by default during installation. This can be administratively re-indexed at any time.

PARTadmin -> Index management [Index administration] -> Geo search index [Geometrical search index] -> Create/update [Create/Update] -> Percentage share

PARTadmin -> Index management [Index administration] -> Geo search index [Geometrical search index] -> Create/update [Create/Update] -> Percentage share

The colors of the components in the search results are defined by the CAD model and data. It may happen that there is no match with the color of the real component.

The following example shows the application in combination with directory search and text search.
