Search results can be customized in 3 ways:

• Specify the order of the first 3 columns
• Choose between formatted and plain displays. Plain uses less memory but is harder to read
• Display results in CSV (comma separated value) form for import to Excel.

Column Display Order

"Yes"	display column in default order
"-"	do not display column
"1"	display in first available column
"2"	display in second available column
"3"	display in third available column

The "Actions" column displays links to actions that can be performed on the search results.

Formatted vs Plain Display

CSV (Comma Separated Value) format

For easy import into a spreadsheet, search results can be displayed in CSV format by selecting "Generate result in CSV form " at the bottom of the search results page. Unlike the regular search results, where each record may have multiple lines if fields have multiple values, the CSV format has only one line per record with each field separated by commas. Multiple values for a field are separated by the pipe symbol "|". Save the CSV results as text into a file - then open the file with a spreadsheet. Excel will automatically recognize the file as CSV format if the filename has ".csv" as the extension.

Gotchas and Oddities

• Cannot sort Node search results by IP address. Search using Quicksearch by IP address to get a list sorted by IP address.
• If the user is searching on an old machine with limited memory (<32MB), large search results can cause the browser to crash. To lower the probability of this, select "Plain" display at the top of the Search form.
