Advanced Search

Description

Many pages and features have a search option to filter the results. This search will filter on the text that is entered into the Search field. A basic search is usually sufficient for finding the desired element. Sometimes more advanced filtering is needed and additional search parameters are available.

Note that when searching for text, the case is always ignored.

The easiest search to use is to enter 1 or more words into the Search box. All entered words will be used to filter the results. This can be text in any of the visible columns.e.g. in the Trend Log Vault, there is Trend Log with:

  • name: TOWER1_OAT_TL
  • reference: 100600.TL1

To find this Trend Log, search using 100600 oat tower1
Multiple other searches will also return this trend. The more TL in the vault, generally the more specific the search should be.

Advanced Search Options

There are advanced search options that can be accessed using a specific syntax.

Or

  • Syntax: term1 OR term2 [OR must be capitalized]
  • Will find either term1 or term2 or both
  • Example:
    • Search ahu2 OR ahu3
    • data is ahu1, ahu2, ahu3, ahu4
    • result is ahu2, ahu3

Not

  • Syntax: -ahu3 [no space after dash]
  • Will find items without the term
  • Example:
    • Search -ahu3
    • data is ahu1, ahu2, ahu3, ahu4
    • result is ahu1, ahu2, ahu4

Literal

  • Syntax: “word”
  • Will find terms that are separate words. A word is separated by common delimiters (space, dash, etc… )
  • Example:
    • Search “VAV3520_1”
    • data is VAV3520_1_SAT~TL, VAV3520 SP1, VAV3521_1_SAT
    • result is VAV3520_1_SAT~TL

This can be especially useful for finding insights by searching for “literals of many words”. Searching on system control may find many results while “system control” will find fewer results.

Combining Terms

Multiple operators can be used in one search.Examples: In Golden Standard (GS) view, searching on

  • manual -schedule% will find all GS insights that do not have a schedule and have manual
  • manual -mode -schedule will find all GS insights that do not have a schedule and have manual, but not manual mode
