The Search Dialog is available from the System Menu.
A Search Video is also available.
It provides a quick way to find devices when there are a large number being displayed.
There are 3 radio buttons to select finding devices by IP address, view names, or by MAC.
When you change one of these buttons the text on the search button changes to remind you of your selection.
Below is the name search.
Regardless of which type of search you use, the search is automatically prefixed with a wild card.
This means that a match will be found for everything that contains any number of characters before
the text you entered as search criteria.
For IP addresses there are several options.
You may enter the full IP address and only that one IP will be found.
You may enter a number without any periods to find the IP having that number as the last octet. For example, a "1" will find X.X.X.1, X.X.X.21, and X.X.X.151.
You may enter a single period followed by a number and only the IPs having that number will be found. For example, a ".1" will be find X.X.X.1 but not X.X.X.21.
Any other combination will find that literal text combination. For example, a ".100." will find all X.100.X.X's, X.X.100.X's, but not X.X.X.100.
For MAC addresses, the hexidecimal MAC address to be found must be entered in pairs. The hex pairs may be separated by spaces, colons, or periods.
The sample dialog above shows that 16 devices have a "1" in their last octet. We are looking at the 4th match.
The seach dialog is updated for each found device's View Names as well as its MAC address.
There are two explicit wild card characters you could use in searches, '*' and '?'.
A '*' will match any number of any characters.
A '?' will match only one character. So '.11?' will match .111, and .114, but not .11.
You may use the Prev and Next buttons to go through the list of found devices
and each selection will center that device in the browser.
