4.12.1About help system search results

Note the following about how the help system search feature operates:

•Unrelated partial terms are not found. For example, a search for cat:

◦

◦

Finds cat and cats

Does not find category because it is an unrelated term with a partial match

•Searches sometime return metadata rather than actual help content.

•Searches sometime return the stem word rather than the search term. For example, searching for Orchestration stems to orchestr and thus returns no results. This is expected behavior.

4.13Search resources

The banner of every screen includes the Smart Search feature, which enables you to find resource-specific information such as specific instances of resource names, serial numbers, WWNs, and IP and MAC addresses. In general, anything that appears in a resource is searchable.

Smart Search makes locating resources by model as simple as typing the model string (for example BL660), enabling you to inventory or take action on a desired set of devices.

Perhaps you are looking for all resources in a given enclosure or need to find one server using a certain MAC address. Smart Search instantly gives you the information you are seeking.

The default search behavior is to focus on the resource you are currently viewing. But, to broaden the scope of your search across all resources, you have the option to search Everything, which searches all resources.

Some resources might not include the option to choose between the current resource or everything, in which case the default search is for everything.

When you start typing, search suggestions are provided based on pattern matching and previously-entered search criteria.

•Select a suggestion to change your filter to the suggestion and submit it (as if you had pressed Enter).

•Press Enter to see the list of search matches.

•If you are doing a resource match, the master pane is filtered to match your search input.

TIP: Enter complete words or names as your search criteria. Partial words or names might not return the expected results.

If you enter a multi-word search term, results show matches for all words you enter.
