Use the System Search view to add a predefined system search—whether it is a search that is included with InstallShield or one that is stored in a repository—to your project.

To add a predefined system search:

1. Open the System Search view.
2. Right-click the grid and then click Add predefined search. The Add Predefined Search Dialog Box opens.
3. If you want system searches that have been published to a repository to be displayed, select the Show Searches in Repository check box.
4. Select the value for the system search that you would like to add.
5. Click OK.

InstallShield adds the search to the grid in the System Search view. If you need to make changes to the predefined search after you have added it to your project, see Modifying a System Search to learn how.
