Using Local Search

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

Local search provides three 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, “search string”.

Here is an example of how the wildcard search works. Let's say we want to search within the following text:

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

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