BloxOne services provide a global search function that allows you to look up specific resources or objects. The global search icon is located at the upper right-hand corner of the Cloud Services Portal. You can search by entering full or partial text of the resource you want to look up. Global search returns the top three most relevant results by matching the key word(s) you enter. If you cannot find the resource in the top results, you can click VIEW ALL RESULTS to view all possible matches and apply filters to narrow down the search.

- The Global Search dialog displays the top three most relevant results at the top of the list. Each search result contains your search entry highlighted in yellow.

If you are unable to quickly identify the resource you are looking for, you can apply filters to the returned results.

To apply filters to global search, complete the following:
- In the Global Search dialog, click VIEW ALL RESULTS.
- Review the list of available filters and choose the filter(s) that can help you identify the resource. You can click Select all to choose all the filtering parameters under a specific category.

- Case-insensitive searches for IPv6 objects do not work.
- Search will yield results in the format IPv6 is is entered in the Cloud Services Portal (UI or API). For example, if you create or update an IPv6 address in a normalized format (fc99:2222:3333::1) and search in the same way, the result will yield the object. The same is true for the non-normalized format (fc99:2222:3333:0:0:0:0:1).
- IPv6 Range search will work in the same format it is created. For example, if the range is created as ( 2001:db8:1:1:1::1:0001 - 2001:db8:1:1:1::1:1fff), the search will yield result if you search with 2001:db8:1:1:1::1:0001 or 2001:db8:1:1:1::1:1fff. If you search with 2001:db8:1:1:1::1:1, it will not yield any result.
