Searches on Material Design Pages

Most new Material Design pages provide a filter Image37997 icon. Clicking the icon displays a drop-down list of pre-defined "facets" used to filter the page.

Wild Card Searches

For search terms that allow you to enter text, you can enter an asterisk (*) to perform wildcard searches.

Perl5 Regular Expressions

For search terms that allow you to enter text, you can use a Perl5 regular expression. For Perl5 regular expressions, the entered text is used for a literal pattern match, instead of a sub-string match, so if you enter a partial device name, the perl5 regular expression will return no match. In order to display filtered results, you need to enter Perl5 compatible patterns. For example:

Pattern

Result

.*switch.*

All devices with the word switch in the name

^bos-.*

All devices that have names that begin with bos-

^router.*\d+$

All devices with name starting with router and ending with a number

CPU.*

All test names that start with the word CPU

test1 & linux*

All devices with the word test1 and linux in the name

windo*|cli*

All devices with the word windo or cli in the name
