Expressions

Full Search will support the below wildcards, separators and operators in certain search fields. See Field Types for details on what each field will support.

1. Wildcards
   • * and % are multi-character wildcards
   • ? and _ are single character wildcards
   • [ ] indicates a range of characters.
   • [^] indicates NOT in a range of characters
   • For example, [a-c]? means all words beginning with a, b or c followed by just one character. "am" or "be" would match.
2. Separators
   • separators are spaces and carriage returns
   • trailing and leading spaces are stripped off unless quoted
3. Quotes: first double quote must be preceded by separator or beginning of line
4. Boolean Operators- listed in order of precedence
   • NOT operators: "NOT" , "not". If there is no preceding operator, AND is implied (i.e., "A not B" is equivalent to "A and not B")
   • AND operators: "AND", "and"
   • OR operators: "OR", "or"
5. Case- all fields are case-insensitive

Field Types

Checkbox
Checkboxes are used when a field can be none, one or more values from a short list.

Text
The text input field allows all the search expressions listed above. Note that Name fields (Node Name, Alias, MX) assume that the search is across all domains unless explicitly indicated.

Substring
Substring fields allow all the search expressions listed above but also searches on substrings. For example, if "eng" is entered, the search acts as if "*eng*" were entered. So "Mechanical Engineering" and "Electrical Eng" would match. Substrings are generally used for fields like Department and Location where the names can be quite long and may be abbreviated in some way.

Date
Dates must be entered in the following allowed formats. Wildcards are not allowed. For 2 digit years, the rollover year is 50. In other words, years '00 to '49 actually mean years 2000 to 2049. Years '40 to '99 are assumed to mean years 1940 to 1999.

• m/d/yyyy, m/dd/yyyy, mm/d/yyyy, mm/dd/yyyy
• m-d-yyyy, m-dd-yyyy, mm-d-yyyy, mm-dd-yyyy
• m/d/yy, m/dd/yy, mm/d/yy, mm/dd/yy
• m-d-yy, m-dd-yy, mm-d-yy, mm-dd-yy

Address (IP and Hardware)
IP Addresses can be searched in two ways- by Address Space or by IP Address. On the Node search page, searching by IP Address Space will result in all the Nodes with IP addresses in the specified Address space. Boolean operators AND and NOT are not supported. Separate search expressions with the operator OR.

• IP Address Space Input Format
  • w.x.y.z/n - existing address space with prefix (171.64.20.0/24)
  • w.x.y/n - existing address space without trailing zeroes (171.64.20/24)
  • w.x.y.z - existing address space without prefix (171.64.20.0)
  • w.x.y.* - existing address space with trailing zeroes replaced by "*" (171.64.20.*)
• IP Address Input Format
  • x.y.y.y format.
  • x must be fully defined (171 or 172 or 128).
  • y can be a number or wildcard. If a wildcard, subsequent octets do not need to be listed. Ex. 171.64.2*
  • The wildcards listed under search expressions are allowed.

Hardware Addresses can be searched with any of the above wildcards listed under Search Expressions. Punctuation and case are ignored. For example, hardware addresses may be shown as ABCD.1234.5678 or abcd12:345678. Either format is fine.

Label
The two label fields are DHCP Options and Custom Fields. Searches should be in the following format:

• <label or option>=<value> For example, if the DHCP option is "filename" and the value is "boot.txt", enter filename=boot.txt or "filename=boot.txt".
• All the search expressions are supported.
• If either label or value has a space in it, quote the entire expression. For example, if the custom tag is "monitor type" and the value is "viewsonic 15", search by quoting the entire string "monitor type=viewsonic 15"
