    Syntax

    modelfinder(searchTerm)
    modelfinder(___,Name=Value)

    Description

    modelfinder(searchTerm) displays a numbered list of examples, models, and projects available in databases that match the search term and prompts you to enter a corresponding number to open any search result. Other options in the prompt include q to quit and m to see more results.

    Model Finder supports keyword-based searches and natural language queries. When you enter a search term, Model Finder matches your search term with the model names, example names, model paths, description, annotation, block names, and block types in the databases selected for searching. For more information on setting search databases with Model Finder, see modelfinder.setSearchDatabase. The search results that appear indented and prefixed with > are Simulink® models that are a part of an example or project.

    example

    modelfinder(___,Name=Value) specifies search options using one or more name-value arguments in addition to the input argument combination in the previous syntax. For example, your search query can be a combination of the search term and block names.

    Input Arguments

    collapse all

    Search string to find examples, models, and projects in selected databases, specified as a string scalar or character vector. Searches are case-insensitive and disregards special characters.

    Example: "autosar"

    Example: "pmsm models using discrete pulse generator"

    Data Types: string | char

    Name-Value Arguments

    Specify optional pairs of arguments as Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the pairs does not matter.

    Example: modelfinder("fluid",blocks="condenser") finds models with the search term fluid having a block named condenser.

    Name or type of blocks used to filter the search results, specified as a string scalar or character vector for a single block, or a string array or cell array of character vectors for multiple blocks.

    Note

    Filtering using blocks cannot be combined with searches using natural language queries.

    Example: blocks="gain"

    Example: blocks=["Unit Delay","Mux","Ramp"]

    Data Types: string | char | cell

    Option to display additional information related to the search results, specified as one of these values:

    • "off" — Displays only the names of the matched examples, models, and projects.

    • "on" — Displays the names of the matched examples, models, and projects with these additional details:

      • Model path — Path to the Simulink model.

      • Source — Name of the example component, if the model is a part of an example.

      • Matched in — Locations of the text that matches the search terms. This includes the model name, example name, model path, description, annotation, block names, and block type.

      • Matched text — Matching search terms.

    Example: verbose="on"

    Number of search results displayed per page, specified as a numeric scalar.

    Example: resultsPerPage = 5

    Data Types: double
