Quick Search
To quickly access a specific device in your network the Quick Search functionality provides you with an easy to use syntax to find anything. You can search for any information that can be found in the device's identity, and its hardware or software inventory. This type of search is limited to devices, any other object can only be found via the Advanced Search .
- To search for devices enter the criteria in the text box above the table, for example, windows to find any device with a Windows operating system, or Linux for all Linux devices.
- The search is not case sensitive, therefore WINDOWS, Windows and windows will all find the same devices.
- You can use wildcard characters for the search, that is, 192.168.15. to find all devices of a specific subnet. The accepted wildcard characters are ? and {} .
Click Find
next to the text box.
The following table will then display all devices matching the search criteria with the following information:Parameter
Description
Rating
Displays the matching percentage of the entered criteria with the search expression found on the device, for example, 100 for a full match (100%).
Hits
Displays how often the search expression was found for the device, for example, Hits: 4, indicates that the search expression was found 4 times in different fields of the device.
- Select a device.
The Result Details box below the list will now display the context in which the search criteria was found, with all occurrences of the criteria being highlighted per device.
