Description

In the Azure Purview data catalog, the business glossary provides definitions, synonyms, and acronyms to different terms used throughout an organization. Glossary terms can be tagged to assets and assist end users in understanding how and why the data is used. The data catalog search experience now includes glossary terms in the search results. 

You can select the Glossary terms object type filter to limit your results to only the business glossary. For more information, learn how to search the Azure Purview data catalog.
