	The Repository Search facility adheres to the Repository Access Privileges. That 
	 means: a user performing a search will only see objects in the search result that
	 he is allowed to see (because they are owned by Folders that he has at least Select-privilege
	 on). This is of course the proper way to the work: it would be confusing is a search
	 operation renders results that are otherwise invisible to the user.<BR><BR>However,
	 for some users it would be extremely useful to be able to perform a truly global
	 search in the Repository, without the need to have access to every single folder
	 in the repository. For example the Repository Administrator or Enterprise Configuration
	 Manager probably should be able to search across the entire repository. We have
	 catered for these types of users in the following way: <BR>the table ODWA_PREFERENCES
	 contains a number of preferences that influence the workings of the Oracle Designer
	 Web Assistant. One such preference is called <b>global_search_users</b>. The value
	 of this preference should be a comma-delimited list of database/Repository usernames
	 of users that are allowed to perform a global Search, ignoring access privileges.
	 To set the value of this preference, you could use a statement like this:<BR><pre>update
	 odwa_preferencesset    preference_value  = 'USER1,USER2'where  preference_name
	   = 'global_search_users'/</pre><BR>After committing this statement, USER1 and
	 USER2 can perform searches in ROB that do not take their access privileges into
	 account; they may see objects in the search result that strictly speaking are not
	 accessible to them. We recommend to only allow few, trusted and skilled users to
	 perform these global searches.
