Use Advanced Search
You can use the Advanced Search to apply different filters to your search and get better results.
The advanced search feature allows you to use operators and wildcard characters to configure a very constrained search and speed location of the desired content.
To use Advanced Search:
-
In the Navigation bar,
enter keywords, an ID, or filename to search for in the Search for field.
You can also use operators in the Search for field. See Operators and wildcards for search.
- Optional:
If you want to restrict your search for keywords in places such as titles or
filenames, select the location of keywords from the Search in dropdown index list.
The configuration of your deployment determines the available indexes. Ask your administrator if you need to search in indexes not in the list.

The Advanced Search side panel opens with the keywords and selections you made.

Click Search.
The search criteria that you used are shown in chips at the top of the page and search results appear in the dynamic grid. You can scroll down to load more results, sort, or filter them.
- Optional:
Use the dynamic grid to sort or filter the results.
Important: If you use the dynamic grid to apply a filter or sort the results on the Search page, only the objects that have loaded are sorted and filtered.
- Optional:
To save the search query, bookmark the page in your
browser.
Note: When you bookmark the page, it saves the search parameters you used. Each time you open the bookmark, the same search automatically runs and the results update. For example, if you save a search for objects modified in the last 7 days, the results show the objects modified in the previous 7 days, based on the day you opened the bookmark.
