NOTE: When using an expression pattern, you should be aware that the Web interface uses a Regular Expression syntax for filtering whereas the Excel client uses a LIKE operator syntax. For example, to search for an object with “DB” anywhere in the name, the filter text would use DB for the web interface and *DB* for the Excel client. As another example, to search for an object starting with “DB” and ending with “12”, the filter text would be ^DB.*12 for the Web interface and DB*12 for the Excel client. For more complex search patterns, please refer to the Regular Expression syntax for the Web and the LIKE Operator help in Excel.
CAUTION: Filtering large numbers of objects may exceed the limit for your server, in which case you should reduce the number of objects being filtered and try again.
