Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Words and Phrases
| 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. |
Using Boolean Operators
| Search for | Operator | Example |
|---|---|---|
|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
| Either word in a topic |
|
|
| Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
| Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
| A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Universal CMDB REST API
The Universal CMDB REST API allows you to perform topology modification and topology query related operations.
Version 10.33 extended the way REST APIs are available in UCMDB, now REST APIs can also operate based on global-ids. The request JSON of API methods now has a switch to determine whether the request contains UCMDB IDs or global IDs. If the request contains global IDs, they would be automatically converted to UCMDB IDs internally.
That is to say, as a UCMDB user, you can now query the UCMDB IDs or global IDs directly, and the response time is improved ( faster) compared to the previous version.
