# Full Table Search: Find Any Value in Any Table
|
||||
|
||||
Finding a value in a large table usually means writing a query first: guess which column it lives in, write a WHERE clause, run it, and try again when you guess wrong. Data Controller's **full table search** removes that step. Choose a library and table in the Viewer, type a value into the search box and press Enter - every column in the table is scanned for it, and the matching rows come straight back into the grid.
|
||||
|
||||
## How it works
|
||||
|
||||
The search box sits in the Viewer toolbar, next to a **Numeric** checkbox:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Text search** matches part of a value using the case sensitive SAS® `CONTAINS` operator, so `smith` finds `Goldsmith` but not `Smithson`.
|
||||
- **Numeric search** (tick the box) matches the number exactly against every numeric column in the table.
|
||||
|
||||
Whichever you use, the results are ordinary rows in the Viewer, with the rest of the screen behaving exactly as it does for a normal view.
|
||||
|
||||
## Any database, not just SAS datasets
|
||||
|
||||
The scan runs inside SAS, against whichever libname engine the table is assigned to - so it is not limited to SAS datasets.
|
||||
|
||||
## Built on open source
|
||||
|
||||
This feature, like most of Data Controller, is built on the [SASjs Macro Core](https://github.com/sasjs/core) library, using the [`%mp_searchdata()`](https://core.sasjs.io/mp__searchdata_8sas.html) macro. The macro assembles a single DATA step with one `OR` clause per column - a `CONTAINS` test for character columns, an equality test for numeric ones - and writes out only the matching records. It is MIT licensed, so you can read, test and audit the code that is running against your data.
|
||||
|
||||
A few things worth knowing:
|
||||
|
||||
- The search respects your current filter, Row Level Security and Column Level Security - it scans the view you are entitled to see, not the raw table.
|
||||
- Full table search is available in ViewBoxes as well, so the related tables lined up beside your main grid can be searched the same way.
|
||||
- Nothing is shipped to an external index or search service: the scan happens on your own SAS platform.
|
||||
|
||||

Data Controller for SAS® has a plethora of features to make Data Discovery easier
|
||||
|
||||
Here we demonstrate "full table search". No need to formulate a query - just type a value and hit enter!
|
||||
|
||||
It works on all databases
|
||||
|
||||
This feature, like most others, is built on our open-source #SASjs library - using the `mp_searchdata()` macro (https://lnkd.in/gxZZq76j).

A large magnifying glass with a thick green rim and diagonal handle overlaps the table on the right, and inside its dark lens the highlighted row appears magnified with two white value blocks. Headline "FULL TABLE SEARCH" in bold white uppercase, subheading "any value, every column - no query required" in brand green. 1200x627 landscape, no other text.

description: Rudyard Kipling's 'If', reworked for the data governance era - the full text of a poem first published in 2022.

# If: An Ode to Data Control
|
||||
|
||||
Rudyard Kipling wrote "If" in 1895 and published it in his 1910 collection Rewards and Fairies. This ode to data control was first published in 2022. Here is the full text.
|
||||
|
||||
```poem
|
||||
If you can keep your data when all about you
|
||||
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
|
||||
If you can trust your metrics when analysts doubt you,
|
||||
But make allowance for their doubting too:
|
||||
|
||||
If you can query and not be tired by waiting,
|
||||
Or building models, adjust for outliers,
|
||||
Define ETL modules that are self-validating,
|
||||
And require contracts from data suppliers;
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If you can report - and not make KPIs your master;
|
||||
If you can forecast - and not make compliance your aim,
|
||||
If you can make the overnight batch faster
|
||||
And ensure the end results are just the same:
|
||||
|
||||
If you can't bear two versions of truth spoken
|
||||
Produced by silos to make a trap for fools,
|
||||
Or watch systems you gave your life to, broken,
|
||||
And stoop and build 'em up with off-the-shelf tools;
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If you would make one lake with all your data
|
||||
And risk it on one vendor's big bang plan,
|
||||
And lose, and start again at invitation-to-tender
|
||||
And salvage from the project, what you can:
|
||||
|
||||
If you can force your flat files and mainframe
|
||||
To serve datamarts when key DBAs retire,
|
||||
And so hold on when stakeholders proclaim
|
||||
Why (oh why) is our Data Quality so dire?
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If you can talk with architects & keep your virtue,
|
||||
Or walk with CEOs - nor lose the accounting touch,
|
||||
If neither UTF-8 nor PII can hurt you,
|
||||
If all teams count with you, but none too much:
|
||||
|
||||
If you can keep Data Owners beholden
|
||||
To uploads that are timely and accurate and whole,
|
||||
Yours is the Earth and clean records (golden),
|
||||
And - which is more - you'll have Data Control!
|
||||
```
