Grid Search

You can search for objects in a GUI grid, or in any column of a grid. You can search using simple strings or regular expressions.

Understanding a grid can be difficult when a grid presents a large number of objects. Similarly, finding a specific object can be difficult when a grid contains many objects. You can use the grid search feature to reduce the number of objects that are visible in a grid.

The grid search box is at the upper right corner of a grid.

You can apply the search criterion to all columns of the grid, or to a specific column. Use the dropdown menu to select the column scope of the search, or to toggle between string search and regular expression search.
Note: Typing regular expression syntax characters is not sufficient to indicate regular expression search. You must explicitly enable regular expression search using the dropdown menu.

You can type a search string or a regular expression in the search box. To submit a search, either type the Enter key, click the magnifier icon, or pause during typing. The search box changes color to indicate that you have applied the search criterion and the grid displays a filtered set of objects.
