Search for	Example	Results
A single word	`cat`	Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Two or more words in the same topic	`AND` `and` `+` (plus symbol) `&` (ampersand)	`cat AND dog` `"cat food"+milk` `"cat food"&"dog food"`
Either word in a topic	`OR` `or` `\|` (pipe)	`cat OR dog` `cat \| dog`
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase	`NOT` `not` `!` (exclamation point)	`NOT cat` `! dog`
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another	`^` (caret)	`cat ^ mouse`
A combination of search types	`( )` parentheses	`cat + (dog \| mouse)` `cat \| dog + (! mouse)`

Filter Criteria

In the filter criteria text boxes in the Filter pane, enter Perl 5 compatible regular expressions as filtering criteria. You can filter by using standard text matching and also by adding any regular expression patterns.

Strings Operators

Does Not Contain
Is
Is Not
Starts With
Ends With
Matches Regular Expression

Numbers

== is equal to
!= not
< less than
> Greater than
<= less than or equal to
>= greater than or equal to

All filtering is performed in case-sensitive mode.

The units of measure for filtered items should match what is shown in the Filter Results and Properties Pane, such as:

Memory: Bytes
Uptime: Days
Percentages: A number from 0 to 100, (such as disk space used and CPU utilization)
Diskspace: Bytes

Examples of Regular Expressions

The following examples show how to use regular expressions in filter text boxes:

OperatingSystem: To find all servers that are not running a Windows operating system, look for servers whose operating system does not begin with an “M” (for Microsoft Windows). For example, enter ^ [^M] in this text box.
Kernel: To find servers whose kernel is one of 2.6.5, 2.6.6 or 2.6.7, enter 2.6.[5-7] in this text box.
MountPoint: To find all mounted UNIX file systems other than /, enter /.+ in this text box.
