Using Local Search

Local search only searches the list of objects for the particular object page you are on.

Local search provides the following search options:

  • prefix: Wildcard placed before the search string. If you do not add any wildcard, the search type will be prefix search by default.

  • infix: Wildcard placed within the search string.

  • suffix: Wildcard placed at the end of the search string.

  • exact match search: For an exact match search, specify the search string in double quotes. For example, enter the string in this format: search string.

Here is an example of how the wildcard search works. If you want to search within the following text:

eu.network.com
networking.com
ams.network.com
fiber_network_details

Prefix search: For a query of network, the search will generate a match only for networking.com. Without specifying the wildcard, the type of search is a prefix by default. 

Prefix, suffix and infix search: For a query of *network*, the search will generate a hit for all texts with the word network. All the entries specified above will be listed. By using all three types of search, you can get a more accurate result for the search string.
