For assistance with search, you can click the search field to see a tooltip describing the ways you can search.

Search panel with wildcard and structural queries on left, network topology with uncommitted changes on right.

Exact Match

To find an exact match, enter the exact value for the object. For example, you can enter 64513 to find that ASN. The results in our example show that it's assigned to spine2.

Additional metadata is returned that tells you what else is associated with the object. Click All document properties to see this information.

From your results you can click an object name (in blue) to go to its details.

Network device search result showing hostname spine2, role spine, type switch, ASN 64513, serial number 525400EB0A3C.

Wildcards

You can search using wildcards. Let's say you want to search for ASNs that begin with 64. By adding the wildcard character *, you get all objects that begin with 64. (Enter 64*.) Five results are loaded by default. To see additional results, click Load more results. If there are no more results, No more results appears at the bottom.

Search results page from network tool showing query 64* with protocol sessions, identifiers, ASN pairs, routing zones, and node details.

Field References

You can include a reference to a field in your search to receive more relevant results. With the ASN example, if you search 64*, there may be other entities besides ASNs that begin with 64. If you know you're looking for an ASN, you can enter a search query, such as asn:"64*". As you begin typing results auto-fill to help you with the query. You can press the tab key to autocomplete.

Composite Queries

You can combine searches into one query. Returning to the ASN example, say you want to find ASNs beginning with 64 and that also have the leaf role. You can enter the search query, role:"leaf" asn:"64*".
