IP catalog global search and syntax
Use the IP catalog global search at the top of the IP catalog page to find IPs. The search returns matched items for IP names and string-based property values. IP catalog global search can use five different search modes depending on how you choose to search for IPs.
To enable this syntax, global search must be selected in piweb.conf. Global search is the default.
Search modes

IP catalog global search syntax
IP catalog global search supports the following syntax:
-
To perform a single character wildcard search, use the "?" symbol.
-
To perform a multiple character wildcard search, use the "*" symbol.
-
To search for an exact term, enclose it in double quotes, such as "exact".
-
To do a fuzzy search use the tilde, "~", symbol at the end of a single word term.
-
You can use the boolean operators AND, "+", OR, NOT, and "-". Boolean operators must be ALL CAPS. This applies within a single property value field.
-
You can escape special characters that are part of the query syntax. The current list special characters are: + - && || ! ( ) { } [ ] ^ " ~ * ? : \
To escape these characters, use the \ before the character. For example to search for (1+1):2 use the query:
\(1\+1\)\:2
