Please could you explain the context of the search function:
Example :
When I right-click on Application Settings in AD, and search for AuthGlags, I get 3 Authflags.
Same result is obtained when searchin on the Logical Server Constraints node.
When I search under Logical Data Center on Logical Server Settings and Application Constraints, I get 4 results.
What pool of settings is it searching in each case, and why is there a difference between the results
What is the difference between searching in this way, and adding a resource to a node

Hi Jean-Pierre,
Here's an initial answer to your question. We're working on a more detailed example and would like to improve the documentation in this area.
When you add a resource, you are adding a group of settings to make them available in the SCE. For example, many settings in the Web.config file for an ASP.NET Web application do not appear by default in the SCE. However, you can make them available by adding the resource that contains those settings.
When you are searching the SCE from Application Designer, results that begin with "Constraints" are constraints you can configure against logical servers to which the application will be deployed. These constraints specify requirements on the logical servers that will host that application. Results that begin with "Settings" are settings in that application's Web.config or App.config file. Note, you can filter your results to show only settings or constraints, both, or only overridden settings.
When you are searching the SCE from Logical Datacenter Designer, results that begin with "Constraints" are constraints you can configure against applications that will be deployed on that logical server. These constraints specify requirements for applications to be deployed on that logical server. Results that begin with "Settings" are settings configured on that server.

Dear Esther,
Thank you for your response.
So the search context is within the scope of the Application as a whole or the Logical Server as a whole. The results are not specific to any particular node. The results will vary according to whether you are searching within the Application or Logical Server.
Your answer satisfies my question! :)
Thanks
Jean-Pierre
